Self Map

Motion

sway your hips in jubilation for the now.
skip like a child and recall good parts of youth.
run in good health and reverence tomorrow.

Attitude

happiness is said to add years to your life.
ambivalence just gives you half of a smile.
sadness makes you look forward to happiness.

Posture

lie in the wildflower bed of healthy love.
sit and feast at the table of gratitude.
stand and give a hearty ovation to life.
