Hundreds, maybe thousands
lined the street,
but I saw him
I heard him!
yell, yell, yelling,
“Goooooo, Aimmmmm-meeeeee!”
mo-ti-va-tion

Mile marker 14
there she was
wait, wait, waiting for me
she ran with me
I was ready to quit, go home!
“You got this, Mom
see you at the finish line!”
mo-ti-va-tion
~~~~~
You’re invited
won’t you join me–
it will be fun!
so I went
lift, lift, lifting, weights
crunch, crunch, crunching my core
“You’re so strong!”
she said.

Love the snippets you shared! Motivation is so much easier when you have someone to help you! Lately, I’ve been motivated by my friend and colleague. 🙂
Your words are so true. Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
Such a great post! I love how you looked around your life to see all the people who contribute to your successes. Thanks for this reminder! I am motivated by my husband, who is a constant source of inspiration to me, especially when I need it the most.

Thanks, Jennifer! I will be doing a little post on inspiration soon.
What a delightful way to say thank you to those who motivate you!
Tara, thanks for stopping by again! It motivates me!
We all need people to motivate us. My family motivates me to be my best self every day. I’m so thankful for them.
Great slice!
Thanks, Stacey! Families are awesome like that!
Love the format and your bolded words to emphasize those who motivated you. I have to say that my writing life has been motivated by fellow slicers who read my posts and encourage my writing life. I’ve motivated my niece who is now a 4th grade teacher. We love to share teaching stories.
I know, Ramona. I have found a handful of blogs that I enjoy visiting. I just hope I can keep up with the slicing! Thanks, for visiting.
I really enjoyed the structure, style and content of your piece! The flow of your poem drew me in, with each stanza posing a new invitation. The core of each section was driven by repetition, which underscored the message of motivation! Fantastic!
Thanks, Greg, for your compliments. Being a fellow runner I am sure it was easy for you to connect. Glad you could stop by for a visit!
