treks of this distance
take a lifetime
not always a straight line
or one foot in front of the other
sometimes hopping on a broken leg
many times crawling
perhaps at times robust enough to run
living doesn’t carry with it
a formula for success
determination, a will to thrive and action
all prerequisites
a dash of luck thrown in
still
success not always achieved
i will not give up
i love myself too much
“My muse is not a god.” Susi Bocks

Hello Laleh! You are too sweet for wanting to gift it to me!! I have it in my Wishlist on Amazon but have a huge backlog of books right now, so I was holding off on getting it. You know I will be happy to review it, but it’s your choice. If you want to, then please email to iwriteherblog@gmail.com ❤

And sometimes it’s only inches that feel like a marathon, and sometimes vice-versa, eh?
