If I have had a good Monday, met my goals or merely had some good luck, then what happens on Tuesday? What happens on Tuesday is a function of both luck and striving. What we get is the opportunity to turn bad luck into a mere "challenge."
How does one start over every day with fresh enthusiasm? Every new sunrise brings with it possibilities. I have the possibility of a good day, or a storm, or a recovery, or just to take the time to rest.
Will I be able to sustain those positive thoughts? What I tell myself is true will influence my behavior. I will act on my positive internal beliefs, if I am being true to myself.
Will my internal imagery match my external reality? I am old enough to be living an authentic life. Authenticity should not be a problem most of the time.
Can I still write? Will there be anything there? Creative blogging seems like a tall order at times, but it isn't at all. I started doing alternative blogging years ago, because my political/current affairs blog didn't seem like the place for that - and I am still creating it.
Will the prose have flow and have good rhythm? It might if I edit regularly and if I do not get "wedded to my words." Saying what I have to say is just a matter of doing it with honesty.
Would poetry be fresh; would it just "write itself," as sometines happens? It will if I have something about which I feel deeply. That is the joy and promise of the poetic form.
Can I have the courage to believe in my highest dreams? Resting on laurels, thinking of past successes, or just getting through the day - I almost always have a choice. I will find the courage when I act "as if . . ."
