It Starts Today

This is the day,
Take life by the horns.
Spontaneity is NOW.
Go watch the Grunion run.
Laugh aloud.
It doesn’t matter who’s listening.
Eat what you want.
Feel good about yourself.
Jump on a trampoline.
Do something daring.
Ride a bull.
Then pick yourself up and do it again.
Jump out of a plane.
Scream all the way down.
Your mouth will dry out in 5 seconds or less guaranteed.
Wear a suit to lunch with a friend,
So they can see you in it before they die.
Go buy yourself something stupid.
Laugh at it when you see it on the shelf.
Watch some Shakespeare.
It’s amazing what you can learn from a play.
Listen to some Jazz.
Wonder if they can play it exactly like that again.
Suck on an ice cube.
Let your worries melt along with it.
Make yourself a goal.
Kick that soccer ball through it.
Cook something terrible.
Serve it to your friends and laugh along with them.
It’s those times that are the most memorable.
Share something everyday.
Smile when you’re sad.
Roll the window down and feel the wind on your face.
Take care of yourself and your family.
Listen to the rain.
Choose to wake up happy.
It starts today.
With you.
