A Promise to Myself
I am going to watch the world go by.
I am going to take in every single moment.
Each sound. A child laughing. A bird singing. A squirrel chirping.
Each sight. A majestic sunset. A first snowfall. A daisy blowing in the wind. A dog frolicking in the park.
Each smell. A warm bonfire crackling. A fresh smell of lemon zest filling the air. A coffee pot percolating. A roast roasting.
I will seek to see the happiness through the clouds.
Each and every moment.
.
I will be an active participant in the world.
I will make a positive contribution with every action I take.
I will live with joy, happiness, and love. I will spread joy. I will spread happiness. I will spread love.
I will leave the world a better place when itβs my turn to go.
.
I will live by my code of kindness and love.
I will love unconditionally.
I will give my heart and my soul to those I encounter.
I will share what I have with those who have-not.
I will share and ask nothing in return.
.
I will honour my past.
I will cherish my memories.
I will look to the future with excitement.
No matter where my life leads. No matter the outcome.
I will live.
I will thrive.

Thank you so much. I think this is the first poem type thing I have written since about grade 3 when we were required to write them at school. π

That’s the plan. It’s really how I try to keep a positive outlook and not get overwhelmed by all the disappointment and heartache of RPL.

My Perfect Breakdown penned (okay, keyboarded) this inspirational post. Many of you may have already seen it but for those who have not and to remind myself of the importance of being present in the here and now and embracing the love and beauty around us even on our darkest days (or the days that follow those dark ones because sometimes that is the best we can do), I have chosen to reblog this. I hope it speaks to you as it has to me.

I work to live like this and keep a positive attitude, and I can assure you that not everyday is successful. But I try, so I figure that’s what counts. π

I’ve really started to realize how important the everyday moments are (thanks in part to my 100happyday project), and this post was a bit of a reminder of that. Thanks for reading and sharing. π
