Let go.
Let go of Fear.
Let go of Doubt.
Let go of Anxiety.
Let go of Anger.
Let go of Pain.
Let go of the feelings
That keep you
Holding onto the Darkness,
And instead Trust.
Trust that I will be there
To catch you
And help you
Hold onto the Light.
This post is part of the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt, “let go”:
Ring out the old
And ring in the new.
Welcome the change
The New Year brings.
Turn the page
Of new beginnings
And embrace the hope
Of a better future.
Make the new year
What you want it to be.
Write the story of your life,
For only you can do it.
Be who you want to be.
Do what you want to do.
The past is behind you.
The future lies ahead.
Seasons come,
And seasons go.
Summer has gone
As Autumn arrives.
Days grow shorter
While the air turns cooler.
Leaves turn color
With spectacular beauty,
Showing us that change
Is nothing to fear
But is instead
Something good.
As you face change
In your life
Remember the beauty
Of the Autumn leaves
And see the good
That lies in store.
The path you walk
May seem confusing,
Full of insecurities
And uncertainties.
You may feel
Lost on your journey,
As if wandering
In the dark of night,
Not sure of where
You should be going.
But worry not,
For the Moon will
Light your path,
Providing the clarity
And understanding
Your intuition needs
To guide your way
Through the darkness.
Use its gentle light
To walk your path,
And take your steps
Bravely towards
Your hopes and dreams.

My last photo was of the Buck Moon on July 23, 2021 (the photo at the beginning of the post)
Today’s prompt is “hope” and I’d hoped to come up with something creative for such a good word, but I just ended up stuck with a couple of earworms instead. The songs wouldn’t leave my head, so I’m going to share these two inspirational songs (each with the same title) with you instead. If you end up with an earworm from them, I’m sorry. But it’s my hope you’ll find them inspiring.
First up is “High Hopes” from Panic! At The Disco, from the album “Pray For The Wicked”:
And second is the classic “High Hopes” by Frank Sinatra, from the movie “A Hole in the Head”:

Who says the future
Is predetermined
And can’t be changed?
The future is not
Carved in stone.
It is something
That is ever-changing,
And is something
You make for yourself.
Don’t be held back
By fatalist thoughts.
Dream your dreams.
Set your goals.
Reach for the stars.
Make your future
What you want.
It is yours, after all.

The sun is shining.
The air is warm.
Birds are singing.
Flowers are blooming.
The dark and cold
Of Winter
Is leaving
As the light and warmth
Of Spring
Is arriving,
Bringing with it
The promise
Of new life
And new hope.
Welcome Spring
With open arms
And embrace its
Promises to us.
The ending of something
Often is saddening,
Bringing with it
Feelings of loss
That we think
Will never go away.
But we are all stories,
And stories never
Truly ever end.
As one story ends
Another story begins,
Just as one door closes
And another door opens,
Revealing to us new beginnings.
Embrace the ending
And cherish the memories
It gives you while
You embrace and
Embark on
The beginning of
Your new story.

This post is part of the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt, “the beginning, the end”:
Dreams are what
Help define us.
Help give us purpose.
Help us to be
Who we want to be.
Don’t let your dreams
Fall by the wayside.
Dream your dreams.
Become who you want to be.
The road may not be easy,
And may be long,
But always remember,
The journey of a thousand miles
Begins with a single step.
So take that first step
And begin your journey.

James Bowen and Bob, the street cat. Image found on Google search.
“Everybody needs a break, everybody deserves that second chance. Bob and I had taken ours.” – James Bowen
Sad news came yesterday that Bob, the famous street cat who befriended the busker James Bowen and helped him get back on his feet and basically saved his life, died on Monday at the age of 14. James Bowen wrote a book about Bob and how the cat changed his life, and that book, “A Street Cat Named Bob”, became an instant hit and spawned 3 more books as well as a movie. Bob will be greatly missed. https://variety.com/2020/film/global/bob-the-cat-dies-dead-james-bowen-1234637774/
