Things Are Looking Up…2

I may not reach them

But I will look up and see their beauty

Believe in them

And try to follow where they lead

I have been mulling over  my aspirations for this year. Just months ago we were struggling in a few different ways. One day after we had eaten our lunch we were given fortune cookies.

Many words in our vocabulary I can do without, but then there are some I  read or hear and they certainly make my day. So for this year I will be looking up more, learning new words and writing more. I have a few more personal aspirations that I will withhold from sharing at this time and just get busy on them..
