Pain

more than just aches

more than just physical

more than just temporary

intangible yet unmistakable

agony and brokenness linger

your sting, too well I know

relief, I anticipate

 

Scene in Atlanta

I was in Atlanta GA, my first trip there, for a few days this past week for a work-related conference. I spent one evening strolling through the beautiful Centennial Olympic Park. Here are a couple of pictures that I took.

Travelers on a Journey

Almost five years ago on the first day of my first job after graduating from college, a very eloquent orientation speaker read this poem (which I just now accidentally found online) to a group of eager, excited and perhaps secretly nervous new employees. I remember thinking ‘wow, these are powerful words’ and feeling challenged to positively impact my “fellow travelers” – not only at work but also in my family, friendships and greater community. I had the same sentiments today after reading this poem. Frankly, I can do better in spreading happiness and love. What about you?

April Showers

Rain all morning.

Rain all afternoon,

And likely more rain

throughout the night.

They say,

“April showers bring

May flowers.”

Needless to say,

I will be expecting

lush and bright

May flowers this year.

 

At the Promenade

I spent some time at the promenade in Harbor East this morning. It was refreshing to sit down, watch the ducks swim around, feel the warm sun kiss my skin, and simply enjoy the scenery. I enjoyed the moments of serenity so much that I decided to return to the promenade on a regular basis. Happy Sunday!!!

 

Spring has Sprung…Finally!
