365 DAYS OF RANDOM TEAM ZYBKO

DAY #11

LOVE YOURSELF FIRST

I'm diggin' this self portrait. Taken in front of a dirty window, it's reflection for a little help, is definitely a keeper. As I have yet to master erasing wrinkles on the computer, the blurry effect does it for me. I am in the process, and constantly working on accepting my aging 'reflection'. Being the theme of today's post, I better practice what I preach.....or blog.

crows feet are just laugh lines

crows feet are just laugh lines

crows feet are just laugh lines

OK, that's a start anyway.

Valentines Day is finally here

cards, chocolate and flowers galore

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

how can I order it and get me some more?

it seems to me a little strange

every where my camera shoots

reminders of this expensive day

the homemade HALLMARK holiday

Hearts in the playhouse

Gods love bright

in the form of

beautiful warm sunlight

classic kid drawn window art

my Chic-fil-a sandwich

even playin' the part

but hang on minute

just a second my friends

let's do something different

yes, I'm certain you'll bend

A handwritten memory

scribbled and stored

in the back of a closet

messy for sure

is a prayer of thanks

once spoken by Delane-nay

only three at the time

on that Thanksgiving Day

I THANK GOD FOR FAMILY, RAINBOWS, KITTY CATS.......AND ME.

we all sort of giggled

inside we just thought

she's a ham, loves attention

she good in that spot

many years later

this prayer comes to mind

was she on to something?

I must look deep

and inward to find

do we like ourselves

do we love US enough

I know it's awkward

and a tidy tad tough

a light bulb went off

I have a great idea

if I could only make it happen

I'd be rich on a yacht

if we could manufacture

confidence and peace

in the form of a pill

it would be amazing,unique

feeling good about this message

I'm gonna make time

in my busy day today

I'll make sure there's a way

I'll call the famous Dr. Phil

he might answer one day

I think he would like

the introspective words I say

I'm laughing out loud

right now at MYSELF

they do say that's healthy

you should try it too

BUT not at me

AT YOU!

I sound too matchy

an annoying Dr. Seuss

could I write part of this poem

without sounding catchy

just one line, please please please

with out any cute simple fun rhymes

YES, I can. Here's the point.

We have to be able to LAUGH, LOVE and LIVE with who we are.

Remember though

NOBODY IS PERFECT

(thank you that Hannah Montana)

Love yourself first

and what will follow

love for others

will most certainly BURST

sorry, couldn't help it.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
