To breath deeply. To walk with purpose. To laugh till it hurts. To cry freely. To think pragmaticaly. To love unconditionaly. To break bread with a friend. To have a genuine smile. To keep an open mind. To teach with wisdom and experience. To assess and not judge. To share my joy. To give 110%. To receive with humility. To let my spirit soar. To be still and hear. To speak softly. To listen attentively. To not believe any lies. To use my hands to work and carres. To use my arms to hug. To have lips of invitation. To see your soul. To act carefully. To trust with wisdom. To show kindness to all. To respect or walk away. To empathize not criticise. To mix compassion with works. To make my vanity shrink. Never to raise a hand in anger. To have a greatful heart. To keep my ego humble. To be selfless. To be a breath of fresh air. To validate feelings. To create and not destroy. To be tolerant. To Live to Love And Love to Live Is your bucket full today? I aspire to keep mine full.

About this poem:
For decades I couldn't tell you what I wanted. I could make a list as long as Reppunzel hair, but I couldn't you what I wanted. After % decades of contemplating this puzzel I have come to a place of self-evaluation without being biased. This poem is about me and what I'm working on--self-emprovement is another way of saying evoled. Whatever term you want to use is your choice. This poem represents the choices I've made in my life and because of it I not only love myself but like how I've turned out. Don't get me wrong. I'm a far cry from being narsesistic. It's just an oservation coupled with life experience and the wisdom I've gathered up over 5 decades.
