			Today, I embrace the peace I find within.  I am grateful to my Higher Power for the peace I am given and create for myself.

			I was thinking quite a bit this morning, perhaps it's because I actually had time to relax and regain my inner energies; 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Life can be whatever you wish/want it to be... It's like keeping a garden. You can plant the seeds, nurture them until they blossom into what you hoped/wished them to be. It may be of the fruit or vegetable, flower or tree, all is up to you, your choices. Then from out of the blue, weeds begin to erupt... You blame the soil, you blame the birds, you blame everything possible that cannot speak nor protect themselves from your judgement of faults. Hence, a garden can be as beautiful and joyful as you envisioned. But like everything in life, you need to love it, care for it, nourish it. Give your complete dedication of keeping it from harm. There will always be weeds. You will always want to blame someone/something for it's intrusions, but you have choices.You can't always kill them, poison them without damaging your own lovely garden, so the key is to cultivate all your energy in a positive way knowing that any form of distaste or hardship will always be somewhere in your garden. For even if the unwanted items present themselves, and they may be very negative, all has something that you can learn from.... You just pick the positive and relish the moment of it's existence...  |
