waiting on a soul connection

little thoughts of beauty make me smile
with a grateful heart I enter another day
my hopes are that there are no surprises I can't handle
focusing on the positive
I won't get mean today

you wouldn't think that is a thing
but it is for the impatient
the key is to remember to be present in the moment
not racing ahead to the next destination

taking my time to smile at people
instead of cutting them with my eyes
it's been brought to my attention how vivid I can be
altering myself I realize I don't want to be sour
I want to be sweet

inviting people to talk to me
to be more available
I get lonely, I realize I have trouble connecting with people

my husband gets me more than anyone
but sometimes my tongue is sharp and my looks sharper
I'm not sure how I got this way
being on edge a lot of the time

there is so much beauty in the world
to waste time on the negative
today try to be kind to people and I will too

connecting is what it's all about
even if it is in a waiting room
