Some days are better than the rest
They start good and manifest
A happiness and all the rest
Of wonderful things
I hold dear to my chest.
Smile, laugh, feel the joy
See the magnificence
In all the beauty free
Yes, it will all be best
Just believe, be he, she or me.

Morning rises clear and bright
Dismissing all that plagued the night.
Optimism reigns supreme
Knowing what must be done
Here in the morning sun.
Clouds may hinder passing light
But don’t forget the morning bright.
This is new, fresh and clear
Make it right my morning dear.

Frustration, solitude
Anger and pain
Making things happen
In spite of all gains.
Why does it happen?
How can I change?
Bring me reality
Happiness and fame
Leave behind anger
Frustration and pain.
This I need
Make it happen
Please, please
Make it happen
Once again.

Beside me today and everyday is a strong presence that will guide me in the direction I need to go. I must listen.

This is it all around, on the top
Or from the back on the ground
Doesn’t matter how you look
This is it all around.
Be it good, be it bad
Maybe even just a little sad
This is it, all you have
Take a look around.
Stand your ground
Make it happy, make it proud
Not afraid to say out loud
This is it all around.

So much to be done. Where to start?
Start from here.

Today, a special day 101 years ago
A baby was born very far away
No fireworks were let off
No dancing in the streets
But it was special
A baby born this day
Would have been 101.
That baby was my mother
That baby would be 101
I celebrate her life
I celebrate her birth
Always remembering
To me, on this day
A special baby born.
Happy Birthday mom
I love you, remembering
On this day
A special baby born.

My intention is to grow. To become the person I am meant to be.
To love the exploration, its excitement and anticipation.
