Life Legacies

Something someone told me:

Life Legacies

Live Deep

     Never stop learning, playing,

     Or finding wonder in the world 

     Around you. 

     Live the length of your life,

     But live the depth if it as well. 

Travel Light

     There is no use in carrying around

     Worry and regret. 

     They only weigh you down. 

     Always keep yourself open

     To hope and love. 

Forgive Imperfections 

     In yourself and others. 

     Imperfections keep things  

     interesting. 

     They're the cracks 

     Where the light shines through. 

Own Beautiful Things

     And not just to keep in a drawer,

     Tucked away for a perfect day. 

     Surround yourself with things 

     That make you happy,

     That remind you of the beauty 

     All around us

     If we only keep our eyes 

     open to it. 

Make Mistakes

     Follow detours. 

     Sometimes it takes an unexpected 

     Turn to help us find the life 

     That is waiting for us around the 

      bend. 

     Trust yourself and the path 

     That is meant for you. 

Take Care of Yourself

     And sometimes that means 

     You need the ice cream. 

     Be good to your body, 

     Be also to your mind and spirit. 

     You are the only one who can. 

And Always Know You Are Loved.
