So, I was thinking today about how amazing life is, even as I'm going through a few little uncomfy things. Life is still good. :-)
This weekend I came across a couple of diary pages that I wrote when I was 15 years old. Wow. I am so glad that I journaled back then. I cried and laughed as I read a list of what I wanted in a guy. The 3 with astericks included looks, sense of humor and easy to talk to. :-) I was happy to see that I got 15 out of the 16 qualities I wanted in a man --even if it is two decades later. ;-) Yay!
Ahh, life is so interesting.
I also found a letter I had written to God during that same period in my life. After asking that I meet Bobby Brown and New Edition; I was relieved to see that I ended my prayer stating that "most of all I want to be the best person You (God) want me to be, shine through me..."
This really struck my heart. It's something that I've been affirming all these years. I'm a tad closer...Learning to enjoy the journey and be alert to the lessons.
Reading what I wrote affirmed, for me, that what I put in writing has a much stronger chance of being realized than not.
Ok, now for two cent tidbits....not in any special order. Here's goes:
**Tis the season....to give, share, love a little more. I love giving gifts--not based on extravagance, but thoughtfulness. I love wrapping them. I love seeing them displayed. I love shopping for them , creating them, or designing them ( most of the time :-)). I believe a book is one of the best gifts you can give or receive. I came upon this one today. I like it even more because all proceeds go to the Avon Foundation for Women.
**This skirt our First Lady is wearing is perfect for the holidays. Loving it!
**It's nice to smile at yourself and say something sweet first thing in the morning. Really gets the day off to a bright start!
**There's always room for improvement.
**Trampolines and boxing bags. Great stress relievers!
**I love remembering ole time gospel songs from when I was little girl. These two songs have been on my mind this week. Glad to be in the number one more time and Teach me Master teach me. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them on playlist.com to post here. Spiritual songs move my soul!
**Our kids, our parents, our nation, and our planet needs healing. Prayer. It starts with me becoming a better, stronger, healthier me.
**Last, but not least, I appreciate you!!!:-)
Sending good vibes your way. Tag you're it!
Cheryl, you are sweetness incarnate, young lady...to wish to wipe out any present pain of your readership. That was profound. Thanks for being a loyal friend. By the way, I read that writing things down in blue ink does the trick (Kevin Trudeau, 2004).
