Look For Positivity.
Look for the good things in people. I always try to look for the good in everyone I meet. This also makes life difficult because not everyone is good. No one is perfect.
This twist of conundrum always messes me up. The little things that people do, the words they may or may not say.
Those are the most important things to me.
The little things that throw me off or the little things that bring tears to my eyes. These little things affect me the most.
At night when I try to sleep….
Words enter my head, I can’t sleep.
Not because I am not tired.
But when I close my eyes.
I think of the day that has gone by.
The little things that touched me that day.
The things I should have said but didn’t.
Some important things I could have done.
Instead, I write down my simple thoughts.
I don’t write because I have to,
I write so the words don’t jumble in my head.
Once the words have found a home.
I can sleep once more.
Often, I turn the lights on and off.
As the homeless words need more thought.
In this process I sometimes plan. Yet most of the time I fly by the seat of my pants.
I need to do that more and more. Do things, say things, and live some more. We don’t know what the next day holds.
Look for the good in people and try to trust. There is good in all of us. Each night when you close your eyes. Think if you are living your best life.
