Walking Through

We spend January 1^st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential. ~ Ellen Goodman

Inventory. Dreaded,
tedious, embarrassing,
fear-full. But when searching,
those positive character traits
may come to life, may shine.
Inventory need not show only bad,
but how many things have changed,
what has gone right, what progress
we've made without conscious thought.
