If someone’s words hurt me
I’m supposed to forgive them instantly
My heart should supposedly
Not be offended by anyone
But these are very high ideals
And not easy to live by
Sometimes it’s good to receive a dose of humility
Sometimes it’s good to come back down to earth
There is a freedom in flying high
But you can also fall

A new notebook
As I embark on a new adventure
A new beginning
A new phase in my life
Venturing south
Seeking the sun
Looking for community
Looking for camaraderie
As my children begin to fly away
It’s time for me to look around
Assess things
And start new ventures as well
There is sadness in loss
But joy in new possibilities
It’s time to give in a different way
To be of service in a different way
I see the open road in front of me
And I’m ready to embark on this journey
