New Year
A new hope
Just like footprints in the sand
You may not see him that much is true
It’s because you were carried and he never left you
Let us approach what lies ahead with hope and not with fear
Facing our destiny without a mindset of disdain and or tears
Everyday we are given a life lift each time we open our eyes is a gift
Looking up as you see the clouds in the sky life can be beautiful or stained by lies
Melodic tones of pain can come from singing the blues
If you are blessed to awake remember you have been given the power to choose
The clock is ticking and to live your dreams will take more than just wishing
Wherever you may live or wherever you are focus on the light of life
It will guide you like the illumination of the brightest star
Stand up and stand your ground even if all around you life’s trials abound
The very breath that fills your lungs is a gift to the old and the young
Now is the time let us say goodbye to the old and welcome the new
Make the choice you will not enter the future marred by tears
But will embrace the hope that lies within another new year

I was going to relax this evening. Tune out, hunker down, look after myself. I need it. I am exhausted. Thoroughly used up. And it's only Wednesday. Not even half way through the week. A week that in the UK, is Mental Health Awareness week. I don't know who decides these things, who gets to co-opt a day, a week, a month, and declare it a thing about a thing. But I do know a lot about mental health. I know a lot about mental health AND I know a lot about working for the UK's National Health Service. And so it was with interest that I clicked play on the below video, earlier today. By the time I finished, I was in tears.
