I wish to become lighter.

I’m tired of feeling sad, mad, heart broken. I’m tired of feeling afraid, lost, at a loss, hopeless, overwhelmed. I’m tired.

I’m tired of the heavy weight of it all.

I wish to become lighter.

In honor of my mother her mother and her mother before her.

In honor of my children their children and their children that will be .

In honor of me.

I wish to become lighter.

In honor of my days ahead, if the honor is mine to hold, I wish them to be filled with laughter and joy. Hugs and helping. Dancing and creating art. Tea and good conversation. Learning and letting go.

In honor of the days I was given with my mother I will live lighter.

In honor of all that is and its essence that lives in my body and soul I will live lighter.

I will wake in the morning and say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

I don’t know what is to come. I don’t know how many days I have left. All I know is I wish to live them in the center of love, joy and laughter.

Small choices. Every day. Simple choices. Every day. Choosing love over fear. Love over being right. Love over rushing. Love.

Become Lighter. I choose Love.
