Do something every day that scares you
That challenges you 
That pushes you
Like running in the woods after spotting a bear 
You can carry a whistle that you're dear friend picked up for you
You can improve your average pace 
Like playing flute duets with someone who studied music at a college level
You can try alto flute for the first time 
And feel humbled 
And remember what it was like to pick up a flute for the first time  
Like playing softball with teens
You can hit the ball on your second go at bat
And make it to third base twice! 
You can end the day
Feeling accomplished 
And a little wiped 
But proud of the knowledge
You got up and 
Did the thing.
