You probably think this is about you

Why do you get pleasure out of hurting someone else?
Does it make you feel good?
Does it make you feel powerful?
Does it give you joy to squash their face into the ground?
I am so glad you can laugh at their pain and suffering
I know that is not who you really are
I know you are not just an empty vessel or shallow basin
your hard exterior covers something much deeper
when will you take the time to chip away at that wall you've build
when will you choose to peel back the layers and let them fall to the dusty floor revealing the love that you are
will it be tomorrow,
next week
a year from now
or will death come knocking first
will that deafening sound come shattering through you and break you into a thousand pieces
time will tell
what are you so afraid of that keeps you from looking in
what are you so afraid of that keeps you looking for flaws in others
do you think that your so perfect
do you think that you are all knowing
do you think that if you share your perfectness and all knowingness that others will bow before you in awe and wonder
don't you get it
I am you
you are me
we are one
I am no better than you
still judging
still thinking my way is better
my path is right
but there is one difference
love
I love your imperfectness
I see your wounds
I can relate to how you feel
I love myself the same
knowing my flaws
seeing my imperfectness
accepting myself as I accept others
seeing myself as I see others
I hear you calling
I see your journey
I am glad we are all walking together

Go for a walk.   Yes, even if you live in a place that is currently snowing and cold.  Be safe of course, if you don't live in a safe area, drive to someplace safe.  If it is too snowy or icy wear ice cleats or consider snowshoeing or cross country skiing.  No good place to walk?  Walk around your office or a mall.  Trouble walking?  Ride a bike or do some other form of exercise to get your heart movi ng.  Studies have shown that walking improves your mood.  But don’t take my word for it.  Take 5 minute walk, just five minutes.  Do this without your phone, yes without it.  Leave it on your desk or at home.  Phone distraction negatively affects your mood.  If you can’t leave your phone for 5 minutes, then you have a bigger problem, then you may need a 10 or a 20 minute walk to break the attachment. But how will you know when you’ve walked for 5 minutes if you don’t carry your phone?  Take a good guess, use a watch, get a stop watch or a dollar store kitchen timer.  However you kee

Day 2: 28 Day Happiness Challenge

Sky gazing.   There is just something about looking at the sky that gives you a deep connection to the universe.   Some may feel small and insignificant at first and who wouldn’t when you are gazing upon such vastness, but the longer you look the more wonder and awe you begin to feel.   You feel like nothing can stand in your way of yours goals and desires.   The answers to all of life’s questions lies in the blue sky and clouds, within the moon glow and star shine, underneath rolling storm clouds and wind ridden days.   So take 5 minutes to just be and gaze at the sky.   Do it after your walk, but not while walking.   Step outside the office at lunch time, or from your window on a stormy day.   Lay down in the grass or lean against a tree. If you wake in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, step outside for a moment and take in the night sky.   Do this everyday or as often as you'd like.  Take note of your energy before and after your sky gazing experience.  Let me know
