My to do List

So, it’s write anything Wednesday. Well here I am, making a list of writing challenges, for me. I’m not quite sure what I’m made of, but I am willing to find out, make some mistakes along the way, and learn. Of course, this would all be perfect with an inspirational mentor, pushing me to stay focused, making me feel like Rocky Balboa. “You can do it”!!!

Alas, I have myself, and I have to be honest enough to ask the questions? Do you want to go the rest of your life and wonder what if? Or do you want to get busy, and start training your creative muscles, with different types of story telling and find out, just how far you can go.

My answer. . . . . . . .I want to know! So I need to start small. If you have any suggestions, please share. So, prepare yourselves, “short stories are coming”!!!

Simple Wish

Artist Unknown

We’ve all heard of the tale

Of fairy god mothers

And magical pumpkins

And a young woman going to a ball

Yet, do we wonder

If those tales exist today?

With all that is wrong in this world

And individually, we feel so small

Alas, do not give us hope!

If the stars still shine, And they still do

Anything is possible

IF we just believe

Say, whatever you will

It does not matter the villain

Or the obstacle

The heart that is determined, will achieve

That which you scoff at

And say its to hard

No magic do you have

Or wand to make the big swish

But oh, I say

I have something better

I have a light to guide me

And my own simple wish

Becoming the Storm

There she gazed

At her fears

Her doubts

And at everyone who told her to give up

She laughed

Cause now she didn’t care

This was her life

not theirs

Fierce and strong

The struggle made her

Perfect

In an imperfect way

Flashes of light

Illuminated through her heart

Her eyes

Even her very soul was brighter in the darkness

Long ago, to imagine herself here

Hanging her head down in disbelief

What power? What purpose does she have?

To become the storm

For she was it

Full of grace and life

A force you do not meddle with lightly

But watch as it unfolds and discover it’s story

Going for Gold

Artist Unknown

A quarter of a life
Sleepless nights and early mornings
A full schedule of training
For what?

A moment, a time
To do everything right
With all that you have
And leave nothing left

Perhaps on the world’s stage
In a classroom
A national competitive event
Or maybe, just an audience of one

To be an athlete
Is not a requirement
Rather to be a human
Full of heart and hope

Ready to rise
And demonstrate with honor
Regardless of the event
We should all be going for Gold

Sunday Morning Coffee

So here I am, having myself a wonderful cup of coffee, the house is quiet, and I’m enjoying the silence as it is the most wonderful thing in the world. Sub-consciously, my brain is off on some elaborate holiday, that my current budget does not allow at this time. However, the reality is, I’m tired, and really just want to be lazy and do nothing. This is the main side effect, of being a Credit Analyst during your company’s most busiest time of the year.

Don’t get me wrong, I am very grateful to have a job, a boss that I like and enjoy working for, co-workers who make my days fun and interesting, but it has been challenging this month. I don’t know if the heat is to blame, or I just need to keep my focus on my goals. It just seems, that my intent to write anything, has dwindled. Of course, it could have something to do with the 500 plus emails, and reports I’ve been dishing out the last few weeks.

So here is my question to you. What keeps you motivated and inspired, when your daily job tasks take their toil? Is it okay to be a little lazy? Is it really more about quality, than quantity? Any ideas would be appreciated, since I have kept up with this fairly consistently since I started in February. I would be delighted to tell you that my going to the gym was the same. However, I think the gym has forgotten what I look like.

Thanks for any ideas, or nuggets of whimsy you can share, I guarantee, it will “ALL” be appreciated.
