the starter pistol rang . . .
I began with a sprint . . .
racing in the Olympics of life . . .
chasing the bronze, silver, and gold . . .
hell I’m going for platinum . . .
I was that confident . . .
heading straight for the finish . . .
in a hurry thinking I’ll get there first . . .
~0~
near the end of the track . . .
I jumped over a hurdle . . .
stumbled and fell . . .
vomited wretchedness . . .
paused and struggled . . .
to catch my breath . . .
I want a do over . . .
thinking it was . . .
a trial run . . .
~0~
so . . .
~0~
I’m flipping from December . . .
to November to October and September . . .
from 2015 to 2014 back to 1999 . . .
wishing for 1976 . . .
when I started running . . .
this time . . .
I’ll take it nice and easy . . .
I’ll be mindful . . .
taking a steady pace . . .
I find . . .
I’m no longer in a rush . . .

“I want a do over”
I am sure you are not alone in that. 🙂
Equipped with the little bit I learned. 😉
But of course. 🙂
Yep, I think many of us would like a do-over!
Merry Christmas Kim 😀 ❤
Merry Christmas to you.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season…keep up that steady pace.
Thank you and happy holiday season to you. Slow and steady. 🙂
In hindsight Kim.. I think if we knew then what we know now we would all try to turn the clock back and maybe pace ourselves a little more and enjoy the scenery en-route too .. Beautiful thoughts my friend..
May you have a Joyous Christmas, and a Happy Healthy 2016 and beyond.. in love and Light sending you many blessings… Love Sue ❤
Sad that if someone tried to tell us we usually ignored them. Thanks for visiting. Merry Christmas and a blessed 2016 to you.
yes agreed.. All part of our growing, learning through experience.. Big hugs my friend xxx ❤
“Racing the Olympics of life” … now there’s a great descriptor. Meanwhile, if rewinding was truly possible … oh well, cheers to those learning experiences that cause us to do it differently the next time.
If only. 🙂
This is excellent thank you Kimberly … and a very Merry Christmas to you, family and friends 🙂
Thank you and a Merry Christmas to you and your family too.
Great metaphor. Well, I guess we can only run smarter from this point forward. Happy holidays.
If we learned better. Thanks for reading.
Merry Christmas
Same to you Carl.
