Always One Day At A Time.

Goldfinch60



In life you have no need,

No need to make grand resolutions

Or even make big choices.

You can make a few gentle intentions

And life will flow gently,

As you can then take,

Always take one day at a time.

And life will reward you,

Reward you with peace and tranquillity.

                True peace comes not from forcing grand decisions, but from embracing a stress-free life of mindful intentions. Nicely penned Goldfinch!

                    That's a really nice sentiment.
                    You can take the man out of the riot, but can you take the riot out of the man?
                    Wishing you peace in your tranquil day friend.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Most kind Gary, may peace always be with you as well.
