You strive to do the right thing, but at times, it can go astray. It's hard keeping up, with all the things you want to do. Your intentions are on the right track, but it can run away with you. Today we live in a world, that is materialistic. Everybody, strives for more. We've forgotten about the important things in life and we have to remember, the why, the where and the for. Let's get back to the reality, of what life is supposed to be. Then once again, we can find our way, for a better life, for you and me!

If you put it off and wait for another day, it won't be good, then again, how could it be? When you face your conflicts, you get them off your chest, which in turn, brings you relief. If you let them linger, there's sure to be, some kind of grief. It's always good, to be as straightforward, as you possibly can, thus taking the strain, off of you. It's truly, a better strategy and will prevent, any kind of tragedy and you'll feel you've accomplished, a whole lot too!

It's then, she'll seek the advice of others, but knows, it can't be found in any books. She's at the point, where she needs, a make over and wants to look naughty, but nice. Off she'll go, to see a cosmetician, with hope, they give her some good advice. Once she's there, they'll put her in a chair and analyze her skin. When that's finished, they know just where to begin. Make up, is applied with colors, that give her a radiant glow. She feels like a very different woman, more then you'll ever know. When at last it's over she emerges, just like a beauty queen. Now, she's a brand new woman and can hardly wait, to be seen!

For it's been a very chaotic year, that's kept us on our toes. I'll not be sorry to see it pass and hope the year that lies ahead, will bring us tranquility, instead! I look forward to the new year and hope somehow it will bring, peace on earth, good will towards men, the best of everything. May we all be surrounded by our loved ones, may we be filled with holiday cheer. Then lift our glasses with a toast, for a prosperous and Happy New Year!

What do you do and what do you say? It's never easy, getting back into the swing, there's no doubt, it will take it's toll. You have to be strong and forge ahead, then, things will start to roll. Just give it plenty of time, as others have done before. Then you'll be ready to start again and open, another door!

It has a calming effect, that helps you, to relax and forget the trials and tribulations, of the day! This is a wonderful remedy, that will take, your stress away! It doesn't pay, to let everything, get under your skin! Just not being able to sleep, tells you, the kind of shape, you're in! Nothing, is worth having, a sleepless night for we need, the proper rest. When you sleep well and awake in the morning, you should be full of vim, vigor and zest!

But we should never give up and with each day, become stronger. We must not dwell on what has been. For it will keep you, in the mood, you're in. Just try, to look forward to tomorrow. It is, a brand new day! And with the coming of tomorrow, it will chase all your blues away.

It's not wise to put off something, you can do today. If you do, then it will never go away. I've found it's best to get even the smallest things, off your chest. Once you do this, you're able to put your mind, at rest. To me, this is the best way to have inner peace. Then you'll find, all your troubles will begin to cease! Audrey Heller www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 9 A Change Of Attitude How can one, explain, what they feel, inside? On the surface, it seems like one thing, but it's really a roller coaster, ride. One minute your up, the next, you're down, you may feel like smiling and then, comes the frown. All kinds of emotions, go through your mind, as you look for the answer, but can't find. You try your best, to make light of everything, knowing quite well, what the consequences, will bring. Always try hard, to find something nice, to think about, this is sure, to change your mood. Every time, you feel down and out, keep this in mind and it definitely, will help, your attitude!

Cuddled up, with a good book, by a fireside, listening to beautiful music, of yesteryear. Makes you feel warm and cozy and happy to be here! This, is where you feel quite secure, as there's something about a fireside, that has, that certain allure! Where can it be more relaxing and peaceful, to spend a day? As far as I'm concerned, there is, no other way! Who cares, the snow is falling all around, as you see it slowly hit the ground. The wind is gusting in the air, but being inside, I don't have a care! I feel, completely at ease and enjoy, this luxurious treat. A day by the fireside, good music, with book in hand, is something, that can't be beat!

Here we were the two of us, so we chatted and had some fun. We then exchanged e-mails. We got acquainted, on the net. It turned out to be a nice relationship, so I'm awfully glad we met. We both have a lot in common, although I'm older then she. It really doesn't matter, as it makes no difference to me. There's always something to talk about, be it health, family or weather. I find it quite pleasant, whenever we get together. I haven't a clue what she looks like. I formed a mental picture in my mind. Just the things she says, I can tell she's very kind. Should we both be on the computer, we look forward to say hello. We'll chat for a while, make each other laugh and smile, until it's time to go! Audrey Heller www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 12 A Crystal Ball A long time ago, I realized, you can't have it all! But, wouldn't it be nice, to have a crystal ball? To tell you, exactly how your life would be, something tangible, that you could see! You'd know the direction, you would take before it ever begun. Imagine, if this could happen, what it would mean, to everyone! We'd see exactly, where we're going and where it was leading to. It's then I'm sure, we'd not take that road, as there would be different options, offered to you! Just think about it! Looking into that crystal ball! It can change your whole destiny, in only a matter of minutes.
