I've been
to the place
where life meant
you were still breathing.
I've been
to the place
where life was
based on health.
Average.
Mediocre even.
I've been
in the chair,
watching the movies,
wishing to be there.
I've been
broke
of
inspiration
and
motivation.
But lately...
Breathing means
taking in
a new scent.
Health means
another day
of
adventure.
Average
and
mediocrity
have become
nothing more than
memories;

stones.
Chairs are for
relaxing,
not wishing.
Movies are
uncomparable
and
unsatisfying
to my life.
Inspiration is
my motivation
and
motivation is
my inspiration.
I've found
abundance
in life
thru
flowers on the table,
a child's laugh,
and giggling to myself.
I've found life
in
being
un o r d i n a r y.
I've found
love
in life
by loving life
and letting
life love me.
And by
loving
myself.
And I've found
the best way to live
is to
share what you find
by
living.

I liked the prompt...a lot.
I related to it thru my past.
God bless.

This seemed like a round you were just flowing round in a circle. I liked where you took the prompt how some things inspired you where others fell short. I feel the same about movies. Thank you so much for entering. Keep being alive.
