awesome and negative

A friend of mine said recently,

"It's like this. Awesome or negative."

"What, my parenting?" was my honest reply.

"No, my life," she said.


This polarity

Of Good or Bad

Right or Wrong

Happy or Sad

Whether it's in parenting, or life

It's too extreme

And simply untrue


Yet we hold on to one extreme 

Or the other

Forgetting that real life is made 

Of both


Shades of meaning

Colors blur

Lines intersect

Awesome and negative 

They co-exist


Good people 

Royally mess up

Tragedy occurs 

Often bringing out

The best of humanity

Stress happens

But so do miracles


Unpredictability of life 

Never know what a day will bring

Our happy life and our hard life

Live next door

It's not an either/or

Exist together

Hand in hand


And there's something more

You are more than what happens to you

So take your awesome in one hand

Negative in the other

Honor them both

For the lessons learned

Do a little dance

Of life

And move forward

Step into you


Because awesome and negative

Experiences of being alive

Extremes of life

They come and go

All with a grain of salt

Wisdom said


But you create the painting of you

Where colors blur

Shapes blend 

Lines intersect

Magic happens

Magic of you


Have a wonderful week, my friends.

Embrace the awesome and the negative

As all part of the journey of life,
the magic of you

Light the spark

Create the painting of you

Your unique journey of life


And if these words have spoken to you,

please send me a comment.

I love hearing from you!
