I am learning:

To roll with the punches.
To gaze into the face of Challenge
And embrace Opportunity
And say why, hello, New Season!
Won't you join us for dinner?

To be a little fickle.
To leave the book half-read
To stop the movie mid-way
And to do it guilt-free.
Just because I can.

To live with intention.
To set new goals,
To take initiative,
To ask myself
So, would I read My Story?

To be refined.
To see my dark spots.
To listen when challenged.
To speak without fear
And when the time comes, to let go.

And in all of this (and lessons et al.)
To just keep trying.
Because I will fail.
And that is okay.
One step at a time.
