Day 16 of 21

This was a tough day, but I'm choosing to end this day sharing a bit of me.  I'm on the homestretch of my 21 Day Journey, life happens and we keep moving because without movement there is no progress.

My Life is Better than a Fairytale

by: Lynnell

Fairytales are stories with happy endings

Where everything works out in the end

There is a good that evil seeks to destroy

Evil may capture good but it's only temporary

For we all know that at the end of the fairytale

A hero emerges to save the day

They outwit and conquer evil 

Good wins and lives happily ever after

Each moment of my life I realize

My Life is Better than a Fairytale

I haven't been put to sleep by an evil witch

Or captured under the spell of one either

I haven't been tricked to spin gold from thread

My hair hasn't been needed as a rope 

Nor have I had to kiss a toad

Why?  It's simple...

My Life is Better than a Fairytale

Now don't get me wrong, 

I've had plenty of moments that I thought evil was attacking me

Only to find that I could combat it

Not lay in wait, not look for a toad

When I needed the armor of love or friendship

To help fight those battles they were always there for me

Giving courage, giving me strength, giving evidence that

My Life is Better than a Fairytale

One of those moments when I felt under attack,

I wrote to myself in a journal: 

"When I realized that I was my own night in shining armor, 

I had to power to save myself."

It was my inner strength connecting with my outer strength

Reminding me that I dream in color for a reason

I believe in rainbows in all seasons and 

MY love is infinite not an infinitesimal

My Life is Better than a Fairytale

Thanks for letting me share!
