yes, you can...


yes, you can

Who ever came up

with the well-known

line (and lie) of

"happily ever after"?

What about "pretty good

right now"? Oh, I know

it lacks the familiar

ring, carries no

promise about tomorrow-

but do you know

what the next day's

dawn will bring?

I don't...

   and my hands are

   pretty full with

   the reality of living

   today...here & now.

After all, real life isn't

about being swept away

by some fictional Prince

Charming on a white horse...

   it is putting one foot

   in front of the other,

   up the mountains, down

   into the valleys...wherever

   the path takes you...

   sometimes in the company

   of someone precious & dear,

   often alone...but cherishing

   those you encounter along

   the way...

   and then tomorrow- if you

   are granted it- beginning

   anew...not in Sisyphean

   frustration but in gratitude

   for lessons learned...

   adventures taken...

   acquaintances made...life truly & fully LIVED.
