Sometimes things go as planned
Other times things turn out unexpectedly
We then have to take the good with the bad
because that's life
not every thing is scheduled and planned
like a sudden sickness or emergency or injury
time like that it is helpful to take the hand of a family member
or friend, and pray for the best
We all know at times life can be a test

It helps  to do your best to think positive when it seems that you are faced with the worst
You can sometimes get stronger from things unplanned
Some great things that are unplanned are a Surprise visit from a family member you love
Or a unexpected visit with a friend
Or a pleasant and unexpected phone call or message
The pleasant unplanned moment's can help you get through
the difficult unplanned times of life
I hold the pleasant unplanned moments close to my heart
It makes life worth living  after all
My original planned birthday plans had  fallen apart, but led to a surprise although brief visit from my daughter, and later watching a movie with my neighbor friend.
You either feel
like you're going to die
or
you feel like
you're already dead.

It's 1 o'clock in the morning
and I'm not lonely.
I don't crave the touch of someone
that decided they don't want me,
nor the affection of someone
that probably doesn't know my last name.
I don't long for a warm body
to lay beside,
it's hot as **** in here anyway.
I'm texting boys
that I want nothing from
and I don't care what they want from me.

It's 1 o'clock in the morning
and I'm not lonely,
so why am I so ******* sad?
"You can only fix broken things"
You said as I stared right into your soul
My heart beating inside my chest, slowly
Hoping with a fragile hope

"You can only fix broken things"
You said while watching the sun set
My hands went numb, fingers useless
Wishing you noticed but all you did was look 

"You can only fix broken things"
But all I wanted was to hold you
To love you slowly 
In fear of losing and breaking myself too 

"You can only fix broken things"
I said when I realized I'm not good enough
Filling the space between us with empty promises
As I drifted off to sleep, I only knew one thing:
That I cannot fix broken things
Take time to smell the roses
too soon their fragrance will be a distant memory
Take time to enjoy their beauty before they wilt away

Take time to enjoy life because the years pass too quickly
remember every minute and every hour is a gift
We are not promised tomorrow
  so make every second count
  Take time to count every blessings count them double or triple
   If you focus on your blessings your problem's seem less
   therefore you can ease some anxiety and stress
  
   Take time to enjoy the company of loved ones
   while they are here
   Take time creating precious memories with those who are dear to you
   keep them always near in  both your thoughts and heart
  
   Take time to learn something new
    Take time to cheer up someone who's feeling blue
    Seeing that person smile can brighten your day and theirs too
    A little cheer can go a long ways
    Take time to have a positive outlook with few regrets
     try not too waste too much time on trivial fretting  
     Take time to live your life to the best of your ability
      Take time to discover your talents and shine in a way unique to You!
