Notes About The Poem

a toast to health

this is the year 
i make my dreams 
become reality

i want to make my health priority
though the reasons may sound cliché

indeed, we're not getting any younger
who knows what's in store tomorrow
we can't take our health for granted

yes, we're as youthful as we feel
let's muster what energy we've got
get out there and enjoy life to its fullest

how you ask? i'll eat well
spend time outdoors
exercise and be kind
maintain a positive outlook
expect the best out of myself
stretch my goals 
reach for my dreams

and above all ~
stop tolerating 
negative energy 
within a hundred 
miles of me !

I agree, Line. All the 'health' in the world does not good if the mindset is negative. ~ Pleasantries and Cheers, Gershon
