Beginning again
Everyday a new start
with baggage in tow

Beginning again
trying to leave old behind
and do something new

Beginning again
to break the old bad habits
and feel good again

Beginning again
to reawaken inside
and feel the real me

I can see that you are still having trouble with the past, Lori. But somehow you find your way around them. I'm with you 100%, but you understand that of me.

I'm such a creature of bad habits! I keep trying to turn over new leaves. Wish I had a bull dozer and could just turn over the whole darn tree! ~L

I hear you, and actually turning over the whole damn tree is easy. I did it. So can you do it. So do it! Jeez. Some things never change, you looking for something to better your life, but you don't want to do what you have to do to get it. You'd rather write these defeatist poem about it.

P.S.: You don't need a bulldozer to turn over that tree, you need to reach down and grab the will power that I know is there and apply it to your health.
