I am an Idealist
Choice and the right book have made me a better woman
I used to be a pouter, enraged about everything
Focusing on the slightest slight
I used to be negative
Have you ever read “You cannot afford the luxury of a Negative thought?”
I have
More than once
I read it once a year
Now I am an idealist, an optimist, a creator, a dreamer, a schemer.
My muse and I do not believe in limitations.
I write between ten and forty poems every day.
Goal for myself, competing with me.
I am currently working on twenty-three paintings.
Forty-seven more are in a stack, inked, ready for paint.
Sixteen hundred paintings by me are in my garage.
I am an idealist; living my ideal life.
