I thought I’d forget all my troubles;
hiking the high hills today –
but my thoughts betrayed me again –
turning my hopes to bitterness
until a soft voice interrupts
my internal monologue:

“Make your life a celebration,
not cause for regret.
Set a goal, a purpose, a direction
then enter every situation
with eyes wide open.
See your endless blessings;
the knowledge life has granted you:
put these to better use.

They will show you the beauty
of a cascading mountain stream
with a backdrop of jagged peaks
above scraggly pines at the tree line
just below the sun’s slanting rays.

They will give you a sprinkling of fresh snow;
the feel of a shiver as a late autumn breeze
finds an opening in your collar.

Is this not the dawning of a new day
filled with endless possibilities?
Why should you allow yesterday's thoughts
to mar today's joy?
If you came here to find happiness
just for one day, that is all you will get
but if you discover self-empowerment
such happiness you will find
absolutely everywhere.”

How inspiring your thoughts put to pen here.
Floated endlessly in these supple verses.
The best of life, the best of spring...an endless summer...crisp autumn and Christmas found their way to be one joy.
Hugs and Happiness
