Begin each day strong
Focus on what you do well
Facing down your fears
Blogger blogging near Seattle
Thriving on rhythms
Predictable patterns help
Free me from stresses
Chaos stresses me, for good and for ill. Looking back, I once believed I was adventuresome. Now, I see my delusion. Joining the Navy wasn’t radical. Well, I was born in a Naval hospital. There was nothing more known to me. Interesting this notion, embedded within my skull, that this adventure seeker persona was what I was supposed to be. Thus I always presented myself that way. Certainly believed that I was. Now I’m pleased with my domestic persona. That I’m stable, steadfast and sturdy. Funny that my career is full of change elements. And unsought for ones, too. But that’s another post.
Danger in offended rage
Most toxic of poisons
Seeps into our marrow
Boiling, burning away joy
Leaving nothing by charred
Remains
I learn so very much
When I shut up and listen
I wish I knew how
To do that
More often
Embracing your dreams
Live a life filled with purpose
The reward is joy
Avoid regret’s pangs
Each day born of potential
Growing towards the sun
