Live In the Now

Don't let old hurts and fears dictate today
Take steps toward healing; to live life now
Seizing the present is the only way
Don't let old hurts and fears dictate today
Take back your whole life, yell hip hop hooray
Aim to live your very best life somehow 
Don't let old hurts and fears dictate today
Take steps toward healing; to live life now


Seizing the present is the only way
Take back your whole life, yell hip-hop hooray
Don't let old hurts and fears dictate today
Take steps toward healing; to live life now
Aim to live your very best life somehow
Be bold, my friend, put your hand to the plow

I’ll keep this as a favourite Alexis, to read again and again. I am haunted by the past and try to let it go, it isn’t easy as I truly well know… Belle

Hi Jan, I totally agree. However, we can't live in the past; we must take baby steps to live in the present. I appreciate your visit and comment:-)Alexis
