Keep Going

 

"Never complain, never explain. Resist the temptation

to defend yourself or make excuses."

Brian Tracy

Catch the lovely self prior to complaining, as so many others face challenges we cannot really begin to understand.  Do not even begin to explain, as everyone is distracted by their personal worries and difficulties. It is not necessary to even try to defend the self, as no one is truly present nor appropriately listening.   No need for excuses as everything, and I mean everything is blamed on Covid or politics.

Keep going, I tell myself, as the days slowly fade away and I unintentionally slide backwards in my thoughts, acts, and deeds.  Stretch the body to keep a sense of comfortable movement.  Harvest favorite books taking space on the shelf.  If there isn't enough effort for creative activities, at least try to make a collage.  

Push forward, gaining traction beneath the feet to face every day challenges.  Freshen up the heart with starbursts and hugs.  Rekindle any drop of passion, building upon the light needed to see beyond any darkness.  Keep going, as surely goodness waits, straight ahead.
