Forgetting Something?

Don't forget that today you can smile
Don't forget that today you can eat your favorite food
Don't forget that in your power, you can solve a problem today
Don't forget that you can hug someone close to you and no one ever says no to a hug
Don't forget how much it means to people when someone, anyone speaks kindly of them
We forgot the beauty of acknowledgments and high five's
Of doing what we love, so that we can love what we are doing
We forget that we don't have to settle
And yet we do it all the time
Waiting for the right moment to do whatever
We forget this is whenever
And whenever makes a huge difference to how we respond to whoever
And we are whoever to someone, and someone is whoever to us
Our energy is intertwined and what we do for ourselves
We have done for everyone
Our foundations strengthen
And our hearts lighten
When the load is spread in taking care of us
Don't forget that today is the day to lighten the load
You would do whatever anyway
Today is the day not to forget

After the Argument, The Truth

Are you happy today, the weather is better in our lives?

I don't like being hurt or mad at you.

I love you too much for that stuff.

You mean too much to life to sell us short of anything.

I mean too much for life to get scared of you or anything anyone can do

We all have choices and we are making a choice to grow

I want to grow with you always

Just let me know you care and I am here.

I want our freedom, for each of us and for the us that we are

Never think twice about hugging me or loving me, that is an invitation forever

When I get mad it hurts me that it is at you

It doesn't mean that I don't love you

It just means that I had to be reminded that you are here in heart

There can never be too many times in life to say I love you and I do

Just know that we are a team, no matter what we say, no matter what we see or do

Stay close to your heart and I will with my own

My life with you has never been more fun, interesting, interrogating, and painful

All the emotions that call us to grow

I love you

Me

Monday Monday

Monday is the day that starts the days of the week
It is something we all know
And we start each Monday with the dread of going to work
Back to Business
Waiting until Friday
So because of the position of the day
We have taken out the enjoyment of it

What if we started by thinking
It is a new week
It is a new day
Then it wouldn't really matter how we treated Monday
It would only matter that we found something to enjoy in the day
Monday could be as enjoyable as Friday if we thought for a Minute that it was Friday
That once we finished the day, we could rest
We could read something we wanted to
Our kids don't know what day it is
And they get to enjoy everyday
And they wonder why Mom or Dad or both rush through days of the week to rest
That is a long time to hold your breath
So take a moment to think about what is awesome in this day
Let your mind focus on what you enjoy in your day
Like a great lunch in the middle of it
Your kids happiness to see you
Those at work that you can help in easing the pressure and getting the same work done
Pushing along that feeling that we are all parts of the same projects and presentations
Getting home or picking up your children
It just means that you are there and you are present
Being present is the greatest present of all
Waiting for a day, a time, to think, to make you feel a moment
Is saying it is not important on the way
On the way carries with it the greatest importance
Since on the way to anything are the stories we tell, all the conclusions are already known
Smile, think, do, and complete and you will feel weight dissipate as you move along
Or you could simply be as you already are
Let it be a choice and already you will feel a sense of accomplishment
