Thought for the Day

“Every path has a few puddles.”

 Author Unknown

This is a very timely thought being what I have been stepping up to facing.

First let me say that I have a pretty darn good life. What is going on is there are those things in the past that keep raising up like the animals in ‘Wack-a-Mole’. Just when I think I can see them and hit them, puff they disappear till the next time. What I am left with is a feeling of total worthlessness and that I have a life not worth living. I know that is pretty stupid but it just sneaks up on me.

Will I ever finish my thoughts on the subject? My perfectionism causes me to think I have to write a certain amount or it won’t be worth posting.  And, I am not even sure what I am talking about.

I do like the above Thought as it brings some peace of mind to me to be reminded life is not perfect and no matter what I do there will be some puddles.

On a different vain, today is a beautiful day!! Fall is definitely in the air with the crispness of the temperature, the colors against the blueness of the sky. I feel so lucky to be able to experience the walk I just came back from. Twice around the building and didn’t even break a sweat.

I was thinking to myself how nice it would be to be retired and to be outside every day to walk in the beauty. Feeling the sun on my face, the smells in my noise of dried leaves and the slight chill in the air feels me with a sense of being alive and happy. If today were to be my last, it will have been well lived.  

I can let go of my perfectionism for a minute and call the entry complete. I feel good to surrender my will and my life to my higher power, God, as I understand.

Thy will not mine be done.
