Six Word Fridays ~ Question

{otherwise known as personal pep talk}


When life gives a moment's pause,
and I listen to the many
questions that circle about me and
swirl within, what do I hear?


Why me? What's missing? What could
have been if only I had....?
These are the looking back questions.
The second guessing and negative questions.
I admit, I hear them - and
dwell upon them....way too much.


I'd rather have a heart full
of 'face-life-head-on' questions.
So what? Now what? What's next?
Is it working? Is it effective?
What will matter in 100 years?

If the situation were never to
change, what is the one quality
I'd need to really enjoy it?

Positive, empowering and life affirming questions.
I'll be asking more of these.


So....even though moving forward can
leave me slightly off balance, fighting
for those positive questions and thoughts
settles me. Who knows? Might even
give me the courage to fly!
