CHOOSE WISELY

Author's Notes/Comments: 

HOW DO YOU LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. IT'S EASY TO GET STUCK IN A RUT AFRAID TO TRY OTHER STUFF. I THINK OF THAT SAYING MANY ATTRIBUTE TO ALBERT EINSTEIN THAT I HAVE SEEN OTHERS CORRECT AND SAY NO THAT WASN'T HIM BUT IT IS AN INTERESTING OBSERVATION NONETHELESS.... INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS...IF WE ARE HONEST WITH OURSELVES A LOT OF US CAN RELATE TO THAT...SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THE FAMILIAR THAN CHANGE OF ANY KIND WHEN THE ONLY THING CONSTANT IN LIFE IS CHANGE...

 

LET THE DREAMS BEGIN

JUST CAME ACROSS SOME  WRITERS PROMPTS AND THE PIANO BENCH WAS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST...IT MADE ME REALIZE HOW MUCH I TOOK IT FOR GRANTED...MY FOCUS WAS ON THE PIANO AND PLAYING SONGS ON IT BUT NEVER ON THE BENCH I SAT ON...OURS WAS A WOODEN ONE WITH A HINGE SO YOU COULD STORE SHEET MUSIC INSIDE BUT OTHER THAN GETTING THAT OUT OF THERE AND SITTING ON IT I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT ALL...THE PROMPTS WERE MEANT FOR A STORY OF UP TO FIVE HUNDRED WORDS BUT I JUST WROTE A POEM ABOUT IT...
