Renewal

It maybe fodder, but the first of the year.

Time to renew life,

time to end life,

beginning of a new year.

That choose to renew or end life,

lays in the hands of each of us.

Individually we make choices.

So as you go about your day,

the rest of your life, your future

rest with you, not someone else.

What decision you make

for the path you select

to go forward in your life today.

This will guide you to

beauty with optimistic view.

Go the pessimist road,

you find road blocks continually in your path,

your own mind holding you back.

Someone said there are no endings just beginnings! Years are too short we must change it to 14 mths a yr :)

[Willard Wells]

well then there's that. Never say goodbye, but until we meet again. Our new beginning. Thank you for stopping by and if the earth keeps changes 14 months could a reality.

The endings of old beginnings and the beginning of the new endings
and the cycle takes us on an endless roll

Very well said. This message is something many of us should think about and apply to our lives.

I speak the words, but know and saying them is not enough. My writing often is to remind myself also. Thank you for taking time to read my work and comment.

kind of a "Road not Taken" but in the sense that each road doesn't deserve equal wear because one is so negative...and we must choose to take the path of optimism and make this new year great...it is up to us to choose where our lives will go in the upcoming days...

nicely said, Willard...

So true. We make our own beds in this life, with every thought and turn of the path we choose and too often become the pessimist because of where we find ourselves, rather than the optimist that retraces his steps and takes another route. Destiny is in our own hands and we should accept who we are for who we made us be.
Great write. Thought provoking words.
