Through A New Lens

As we all navigate changes and choices in our lives it’s important to be present in the moment as to not spoil this journey, right now. However, like most humans imagining what a glimpse into what you may want in the future to hold is well, impossible. Just so long as the focus doesn’t stay there too long, makes sense? We all set New Years Resolutions only to break them. What, I think the stats say something like most are broken 10 days into January? If I’m wrong feel free to correct me. Establishing a routine to me, is much more critical than any resolution doomed to fail. Then again if you learn from that failure then maybe it’s not so bad? I think I’m kind of confusing myself here. Pause…now gather. When I committed to myself to keep this blog flowing, I said one thing, it’s needs just a little different feel and I’m wondering if you all have noticed, edgier with more energy. Playing with words, I want to leave my readers thinking, ” What’s he really saying?’, I gotta check that again. This is very new and I’ll tell ya I like it, a big shit eating grin on my face while I write it. It’s fun to challenge yourself push the limits and keep on improving yourself.

Content becomes much easier to come up with, instead of staring or ignoring my screen for days, sometimes weeks. It’s almost daily I’m here, or at least writing or reading. Jotting thoughts down, thinking of ways to not only enjoy what you’re reading, but to also leave you thinking. Although it will never stray too far from where it all started a raw, open and honest account of a Cancer patient. But now myself, is just a little bit different and you’ll see this moving forward. With that being said, I’ll switch gears and give you this year’s first poem. The title was suggested to me from a long time subscriber. I never name, names, but you know who you are and thanks for the great suggestion. I’ve been sitting on this for a while in order to give it the time to do it justice. Alright, ready, set , go, into some poetry…Who’d ever thought they’d hear me say that?

If you like what you’re reading please consider subscribing, like, drop a comment. I read them all, even the private messages. When you leave them directly on the blog it helps drive the content for more to read. One of the goals for 2025 is to want others to learn to help themselves. Self love is very important, how can you really love someone else if you don’t love yourself? Ask yourself this question. Cheers and enjoy.

Through a New Lens

This new lens paints such a clear picture
Like looking from the outside in
Focusing on the moment and what life will bring
Breaking the chains of what others may think setting me free,
Through this New lens now very comfortable in my own skin
No need for a crutch or validation from others
Sense's on point, as if  a re-awakening
A smile crests my face each and every morning
That beast that appeared now back under control
Through a New lens, we'll see what there is to achieve
What Life has In Store
Improving one's self should be at everyone's front door
We have but one life to live, time to spend wisely
 Making those you choose to have around feel better, important
Through a New Lens, we all have our highs and lows
Like canoeing rough water, heart beating intensely feels like crashing through chest
Then in the calm, pulse subsides you realize the victory that lays inside
Take a chance through this new lens I will
I still will go and lace up those shoes
Where they take me now is one of my lifes mysteries 
Where will I go?
Who will be?
How will I get there?
I guess We'll see 🙂
