I do not want to just go through the motions in life
I want to strive not just survive
I want to thrive
I want to live with devotion not just chase a careless notion
I need to take five and smell the flowers along the way
I need to stop and see what is clearly ahead of me
I need to appreciate all the beauty that can be found, and peace will flow abundantly
I have been so busy, and this poem came to me in the middle of the night, in the midst of a stressful week.
