Now I offer you a little inspiration for today and every day that follows:

One Step Closer – An Acrostic

Overcome your fears that attempt to control you and
Navigate your itinerary, giving yourself encouragement.
Examine your expectations to dodge unnecessary pressure by
Staying focused and not allowing your visions to become clouded.
Turn your negativity into optimism, energizing your mind by
Embracing what you ‘can do’ because ‘can’t do’ doesn’t deserve attention.
Positive thinking makes for a healthier heart and mind.
Combining your dreams with reality, stretching your thoughts
Leaves your failed attempts buried in the forgiving past.
Open your eyes to new, plausible, and stimulating opportunities while
Supporting yourself to avoid preventable disappointments.
Edge towards your much anticipated, thrilling finish lines,
Remembering to view the cup half full; half empty will only deter you~

Thank you for stopping by, and a Huge Thanks to you who have supported me with an abundance of love through my King Copper journey. I wish you all a wonderful weekend!
