Working on it and moving on:-)

Hello, you all.
Hope you are well,
filled with Springlike,
optimism.

I have been working on,
feeling good, strong.
We need good and strong.
to,
face life's challenges.

I am doing my cardio,
eating my all Bran,
moving, drinking water,
the whole shebang.

I find myself,
enjoying the mild workouts,
the long walks,
the analysis,
of what I am eating,
and,
what I should be eating.
complex and fascinating stuff.

I have a few,
health challenges to face,
by being informed and making changes,
I am confident that all can,
be resolved in the best way,
possible.

I eat well.
in the last few years,
I also eat less,
which is key.

I need to be strong,
and,
healthy,
my body needs to last,
the rest of my life,
:-)
and,
be up to the task.
Stress,
hard knocks,
joys and pain,
all of it.

I have never been,
a Zen person,
but,
I am relishing in the real,
joys of my life,
and,
am eliminating,
the unnecessary stress,
and conflict.

I,like so many people,
have had lots of conflict,
in my life,
it's normal,
it's life,
I don't shy away from it,
when necessary,
in matters of safety,
identity,
principle.
but,
I do not revel in it,
I do not,
seek it out.

I will not,
pursue or continue,
relationships,
that are mired in,
conflict and negativity.
I don't mean to say,
that I will now,
become,
Pollyanna.

Anyone who knows me,
should already be chuckling.

But, I don't want,
the cynicism, the sarcasm,
brow beating and putting down,
of anyone and everyone.
I believe in letting people,
have their say,
with respect and civility,
and,
if their say is cra cra crazy-
moving on.

Sometimes, the line needs to be drawn,
in matters of principle,
one must stand tall,
but,
if everyday,
people are challenging your principles,
and,
every disagreement,
Becomes a 'must convince people they are wrong,
and,brow beat them into submission'

then...
something is wrong,
and,
you must look at yourself,
change entourage,
get some air,
change your attitude,
eat some fiber,
have some wine,
kiss your significant other,
fill the holes,
read some poetry,
change your life,
go for a walk,
move on.

Everyday,
 I work on being happy,
and,
everyday,
I am happy,
even if a few minutes at a time.

Be well you all.
Later, girls,
BB
