POEM // Exuberance By Sue Ellson Text, audio and description at https://sueellson.com/blog/exuberance-poem With an energy of fun And a joyful glee A life of exuberance Helps you feel free A willingness to play To test and experiment To grasp opportunity To find fulfillment To dismiss negativity To feel positively To avoid being grumpy To adjust to every calamity To live in the fire Of risk and daring To conquer every challenge And still be caring To explore every possibility To see everything anew To hear the music of life In all that you do Enjoy being more exuberant Find a way to truly be For living in the moment Is the only reality Do you ever think back to your childhood and remember life being just a little bit more fun and playful? Do you ever feel as if your life is just a little too serious, worrying about work and paying the bills? Do you schedule in down time to rest? Do you still play (without a screen in view)? I recently met someone who reminded me of the value and fun of being exuberant. In a world where we tend to focus on what is happening in the news, it was nice to reconnect with the reality of life and living in the moment. Perhaps there is a way to incorporate more exuberance in your life...with love, Sue Ellson :) Photo is of flowers on Croydon Road, Surrey Hills, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on 3 September 2023. #exuberance #exuberancepoem #SueEllson #SueEllsonPoem #poem #poetry #trulybe
