Lightarted Living: Best Day Ever!

Lightarted Living: Best Day Ever!:  

Best Day Ever!

 



Saying Goodbye for Good


When we cross paths again


I’m doing exceptionally fine.


I gently and confidently


look at you and smile.


We're done.





 I have no need to push my energy towards you;

I have no need to posture;

I don’t wonder if you’re watching me.

I have no need to give you another thought.

We're done.




All the angst of the past is gone.

I let it go.

All is well in my world.




I acknowledge you and move on

as I giddily step into my sparkling and bright future.

All goodness is before me.

Life is Good.

 




Who or What have You Let Go?

Cancer?

Spouse/Partner?

Poor Work Relations?

Pain?

Drugs or Alcohol?

Shame and Anxiety?


Kiss the past goodbye.

Put a smile on your face and move on!

Write on your heart that this is the best day ever!

Lightarted Living: Gentling the Day

Lightarted Living: Gentling the Day:   

Gentling the Day

 


As the sun rises
at the lake
Good Spirits gather
to greet the day.



Gently, Gently
they turn their faces 
towards the sun
gathering cheerful rays
to warm and strengthen them
throughout the day.




Come on, come on,
just follow their lead.

Join forces with the sun
each time that you wake.

Let the gentleness of the day
keep you in a soft and warm embrace.

Lightarted Living: Just for a Day Renew Childhood in Your Heart

Lightarted Living: Just for a Day Renew Childhood in Your Heart:  

Just for a Day Renew Childhood in Your Heart

 



Renewing Childhood in Your Heart

Oh how I love to climb 
Up in the tree so high
Swinging and laughing and playing
All day.
Oh how I love to play.

Let's go out for a day of fun
Let's soak up the rays of the sun
 Let's fly high 
and live happily
just enjoying being you and me.

Just for today,
Come on let's play
And throw our worries far, far away.





Recapture the Carefree Days of Childhood

Go to a park 
and watch young children 
play unselfconsciously.
Let them be your models
for how it's done.

Then just for one day,
Allow yourself to 
take on an attitude of play 
and engage in a relaxing activity 
that's fun and playful.

For just one day, 
Suspend your worries
and get into the flow 
of a fun activity
that has no purpose
other than enjoyment.
