To Thoroughly Enjoy Something

I read something today that hit me a differently. Although I can’t remember how it was said exactly, it was something like this:

A hobby is something you enjoy doing, not necessarily something you are good at.

Sometimes I am embarrassed to write, to share, to post, to do.. anything. I think, what good do I have to contribute. What could I possibly say that people would want to hear?

To get better at writing, write.

To get better at instruments, play.

To get better at language, speak.

To get better at drawing, draw.

To have a better health, exercise, eat healthy.

To have better relationships, reach out, give, share, be kind, and generous.

To have a better life, shape it one day at a time.

Opening a page from an old book, I’m surprised to see how full of optimism and hope I had a year ago. I had the desire and inspiration. We were mere babies a year ago!

Here I am- feeling warmth from the holiday lights, and the seeping cold of the heart.

Where did this bitterness come from. Why do I so often feel helpless and stuck. Short fused.

I’m doing all the same things, but lost the color.

I try to better others. Am I considering myself? Time for some humility.

However I move, thrash around to move forward.

Deep breaths, murmur the four agreements.

Always do your best
Don’t take it personally
Be impeccable with your word
Don’t make assumptions

Not everything is a perfect answer or connected thoughts.

Thanks to the perfect timing for this week’s prompt: Damaged
