to the dedicated reader.

whoever decided that a new year

is the only time to bring about change

was a procrastinator.

everyday you should embrace love,

tears,

sleepiness,

aches,

and laughter.

disregard the dry skin,

the nails void of garnish,

the hair frizz,

the dust on your bookshelf,

the unpaid bills

and do something about the worries that gently nibble at your ear.

que sera, sera.

happy 2010, lisa
