Another year older, may be wiser?... I look back and ponder

Life has been such a bummer.

If there is good news, I’d like to figure!

There is nothing right or so wrong. Just get strong and play along . Choosing between devil and deep sea? Take the plunge, if need be.

It throws you under the bus and slams you dunk. That’s the way you learn sugar butt.

Unfair, unruly, unsettling and unjust. Life goes on to make matters worst. Deal with it and get over with.

You hit rock bottom, only to come right up. It feels like a bottomless pit. But don’t you give up, not just yet.

There will be detours, U-turns, and blind curves galore. Leaving you bruised and sore. It will choke and suffocate. Remember, what’s meant to be will find it’s way.

It feels like an abyss, a never ending nemesis. You will see, it’s for the good and best.

There is more to everything than that meets the eye. People pry and deny. All you need is to put your chin up and the chest high.

Your urge to explain to every poker face makes your self-esteem fade. Leave them where they belong and show them their place. No is a answer, say it with grace.

Sit back and relax, for this too shall pass. Nobody can get away, karma’s bad ass that way!

Ask a lot of questions, by all means take suggestions. As long as you take your own decisions.

Your not delusional or irrational. Trust your gut, for it comes with no drum-roll.

Bring your inner radar up to speed . You will pursue the right lead.

Ditch your fears and cut to the chase. What lies beyond could be your fairy tale.

Inching each day, to be the best version of your work in progress. Put your best foot forward and count your blessings.

Continue your prayers at every step of the way. And yes, be thankful for every single day.

The good news is sooner or later, it will only get better!
