Note to Self

poetry for your day

I am here to shake up my status quo, discover who I am 
and forget again. I am here to shed old skin.
Do something new, my comfort level 
a regretful prison. I am here to leave behind sameness, 
defy everyday redundancy
seeing with fresh eyes what a new day could be like. 

Maybe I will take leaps like a frog or soar like the herons 
in open horizons. Maybe I will dive like the dolphins cascading 
azure waves traveling far beyond what feels safe to me. 
Maybe I will journey as far as the elephant seals, when migrating 
it’s extraordinary the miles they log. 

Bottom line—I am here to challenge who I think I am
