Blooming Where Im Planted

The wait!
Ahhhhhh! The WAIT.

Seems too much to endure
I want the next level
Elevation from where I stand today:
A solid relationship
And
Personal Growth

Wasted time! Wasted memories!!
Ahhhhh! The WASTE!
     In allowing my thoughts and emotions
        To bypass the “RIGHT NOW”, straight to,
                 “What Could Be”

Realizing I could never regain lost time
My focus shifted,
Living in the moments of today

While honoring the space of RIGHT NOW,
My vision changed
   Journaling
     Pictures
       More hugs
         More Smiles
           Total Peace
             Increased Relaxation
               Ensuring today doesn’t get lost
                 In thinking about tomorrow and beyond

This PROCESS doesn’t forfeit my hopes and dreams,
                   BUT
It DOES allow me to.
     BLOOM WHERE I’M PLANTED
         In the space of today
