with time

with time


my high hopes


have been pummeled again 


and again


by reality 


and my own limits


and then feeling alone 


but then


people knocking on my door saying 


"I am here, I care!" and it's


knocked me down with appreciation.


with time, my high hopes may have


changed to a mellow appreciation of the daily routine


but the deep and wonderful relationships


in my life are a special and wonderful surprise


unexpected togetherness, even while alone... and so good!

thanks Jan, thanks Chris. This journal is just about how things can 'turn around' with a kind of surprise ending. :) I am kind of used to it. :)

Life is what happens when we are busy making plans. ~John Lennon

I figure "Success" and/or "Failure" is nowhere near as important as my willingness to try. My world becomes unbearably small when I am afraid to try. I remind myself that success is nothing more than the art of getting up once more than I have fallen.

Keep trying, my friend.
