"REFLECTIONS OF YEARS AND TIME"

GOALS FOR 2024

I think about my goals for 2024, reflecting on 2023. I shall list them, to later check back to see if I carried out each goal.

1. To make more money to pay bills.

2. To lose ten pounds.

3. To be kind and caring but not vulnerable.

4. To curb my clothes and shoe addiction on TEMU.

5. To save a little money if possible.

6. To meditate a little bit every day.

7. To author more articles setting my own deadline.

8. To let it go if it doesn't work for me.

9. To ride the metro to union station, then to North Hollywood to see my friend.

10. To forgive others, but not forgetting who 'done me wrong.

11. To live each day, one day at a time.

12. To breathe in, breathe out, exhale, inhale each day.

Every day I talk to my bird, Sweetie.

Every day my bird talks to me.

Every day I let it be.

Every day I must be me,

revealing the lessons, I have learned,

throughout my 74 years of life.

I want to live in an art world of

music, writing, film, and music.

I am alone,

but not alone.

I thank the universe,

for everything I must live, to give.

I count my blessings every day.

What can I say?

In every other way

of a day,

at a time

of life, love, creativity

of what must be or shall be,

of rainbows, joy, pain, rain

of nature as

Mother Earth spreads herself worldwide

to care for you, to care for me.

Blessed be to the universe,

the stars, the moon, the sun,

to everyone.
