Just Today

Just today, I had been thinking... 'If I allow myself to think good thoughts, Would that pessimism in me get the point? Would it rage in a jealous fit and leave? ' Just today, These thoughts occurred to me. I tried it for a minute. And that minute grew into an hour. I walked among the people too... As I gazed at the sky, And observe the budding of the trees. While I imagined the bloom on the flowers. Just today, I had been thinking... 'If I allowed myself to let go, Of that I can not change... I can fill that time with so much happiness. With a concentration I alone can easily arrange.' And just today, It dawned on me... 'If I have power to decide how I feel, Why do I choose to accept clouds to bring rain on my life? What do I get from resisting it? When I can stand out in it and become nourished? ' Just today, These thoughts occurred to me. And I am encouraged.
