and i was wondering what i was going to do today....

all i know

is that i'm not going to look back at what i didn't do

or

should have done

or

could have done differently

~

instead

i'm going to look forward

and

embrace what's waiting for me

~

it might mean having to kick some ugly things off my path

while i skip towards utopia

but

leg exercises are good

and

if i have to sit down and calmly talk to the ugly troll who won't let me cross the bridge

~the one he thinks he owns~

i will

although

i'm sure i can bribe him with the chocolate in my pocket

since it's wrapped in gold foil

~

you know

the more i think about it

moving forward

really is the only way we should ever go

~

no wonder our feet only point in one direction

and

that there's words like

trip and fall and klutz and tangled

when

we forget that
