What I've Learned


1. Sometimes, the thing that ties you down ultimately sets you free!

2. Things are never going to turn out the way you imagine they will.

3. You have to change your view of what you think life is ever so often.

4. One should always welcome having one's mind changed.

5. I'm a constant victim of perception vs. reality!

6. More is not necessarily better. Better is better.

7. I'd prefer if people had no impression of me, because nine times out of ten, they've got me all wrong.

8. Adversity gives you two options... rollover and die or get up, brush yourself off, and keep it moving. I choose the latter.

9. All people respond to something that is important to them. Knowing this has helped me understand people I normally would not have liked.

10. Grandchildren teach you lessons you missed when you were raising their mother or father.

I don't know how you do it..Write two blogs nearly every day and keep the writing on both so fresh..
What an active mind you must have.

Samuel Bastion said...

I have to piggy back on what James said...I imagine the writing keeps your mind sharp!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: Sometimes anger seems so near to the surface of my life. An unwelcome word, the remembrance of a past hurt, a disappointment I had not expected can make my emotions swirl with the force of a small cyclone. Sometimes my heart feels hot, my nerves feel edgy, my mind feels like lit dynamite. And sometimes, I just turn silent, go inward, cut myself off from anything and anyone that could ease the throbbing inside. I hold on to my anger, as if to let it go would render the reason for my anger meaningless. I pray that your great love will burn away my anger and leave me settled in the cool breeze of your presence. Help me let go, not only of the anger, but of what made me angry in the first place. Let me breathe deep the wonder and peace of love. Amen.
