I am the Gogetter

Someone else gave me my name,
but I am beginning to become one.
I am on the move
and making strides
almost every day.

My poems tell the story of my journey
from despair to elation.
Many of my poems
were nowhere near the
happy state I find myself in today.
Many of my poems
express my gratitude and love
for BA
for improving my mood
and keeping me in that happy state.
He is the one
who subtly suggested
that I was a gogetter.
He made me a gogetter
even when I did not feel like being one.

It takes a lot of work to be happy
and to maintain that state of happiness.
It takes a lot of work to sleep through the night.
It takes a lot of work to keep the promises
I have made to myself and to others.

I am the Gogetter
and I have kept on moving
in the right direction.
I am still moving in the right direction,
but I have a long way to go.
No matter what I do,
what I say,
or where I am
I am authentically me.
I am getting things done
and now,
in the way I like it.

The Gogetter hans embraced the
affirmations "I am enough" and "I am a winner".
I know that I am good enough to be
in the moment.
I know that I am a winner,
because of the ability I have
to get things done.
I believe these two affirmations
and I have totally absorbed them.
The Gogetter is a creation of BA
who reminded me not to lose my way.
This powerful push
has gently nudged me
in the right direction
and given me a purpose in my life.

So, my thanks to Lavender,
for reminding me of the power
of the Gogetter,
what she has achieved,
and what she has yet to achieve.
