M is for Mind!

I had a couple of things in mind for the letter M

Like my Mother 

Or Mary

But I think I will keep those for W for Women 

So mind it is 

I am grateful 

So very grateful

That my mind has stayed in tact

Despite my best efforts to self destruct 

I've pushed my body and my mind to its limits over the years 

And managed to reach recovery relatively unscathed 

My mind continues to be sharp

And continues to be curious and inquisitive 

Pushing me to learn more everyday

I think my mind as it is, is a result of nature and nurture 

I was born with my mind 

And over the years It has grown and matured

My mind allows me to do so much 

It allows me to question what I don't understand 

To think deeply 

To be sensitive and emphatic 

It allows me to be open minded 

To think outside of the box 

To learn 

To study 

To work 

It allows me to make sense of the world 

To form my own views and opinions 

To be adventurous 

To devour knowledge 

To read 

To write 

To be me

To be quirky 

Eccentric 

To talk 

To listen 

To laugh 

A cry 

It allows me to feel emotion 

It is where all my thoughts and ideas are formed 

I feel blessed to have all that I have 

Including my mind 

Without it 

I surely wouldn't have made it this far
