Live Greatly Daily

The sun stays the same but why should I? Are there not days in which I rejoice & yet others in which I cry? I may look the same now, but the wrinkles will come, Some days seem routine, but only some. A small moment can alter one day in big ways, So, no I will not limit myself, not tomorrow, not today. Each breath I take, and time I arise, I may choose to improve or forgive, say hello to a new friend or to an old, say good-bye. I could choose to live each day near the same - Consuming the same meal, playing the same game, But I choose variety and newness, to maintain my purposes and stay fresh, Gaining clarity and growing, though I will live in this body - this flesh. My mind and goals will change, as will my emotions, & I will live greatly daily - what a great notion.
