A Note to Self

Line Count: 18

Do not listen to the negative chatter
blowing through my mind
like litter
carried by the wind.

Focus upon the job at hand
wash the dishes or change the cat pan,
but do not let my thoughts meander
through the forest of this might…
will happen.

Feed my soul the way I feed my body,
at least three times a day
pray,
meditate,
and place every situation
in the hands of God’s Glory,
because this scatters fear,
dissipates anxiety
and improves self confidence.
