Until the next time…..

I’m not going to break down and let this dream slip through my fingers,

Until the next time…..

I’m going to remember that I’m just a blip on the radar screen of consciousness,

Until the next time…..

I’m going to constantly be aware of all the love that surrounds me in my life,

Until the next time…..

I will thank God (or whoever) every second and enter into a state of eternal gratitude,

Until the next time…..

I will focus on what’s really important in my life,

Until the next time…..

I won’t let all of the petty, shitty little challenges knock me off my tricycle,

Until the next time…..

I will remember that all the money in the world won’t make me happy,

Until the next time…..

I will remember that I’m only on this planet for a New York minute,

Until the next time…..

Until the next time I am caught off guard by one of life’s wake up calls.

Someday, there won’t be a next time.
