So, I took some time to contemplate where I stand today. Where do I stand spiritually, physically, financially.. where does my family stand in the mix? Well, of course my family is top of the charts important.... How did I get where I am today? How did I gain/lose beliefs. How did I lose/gain some physical traits? How did I lose/gain what I have monitarily?
This is a fun one. Difficult to put into words.... nor should I, at least not in details.
Life has it's ups and downs. It doesn't care who you are, what you look like, how much money you have. Each of us is on a journey.
And while a lot of us may have similar goals and hopes for where we end up... nobody can choose your direction, but you.
Holy crapola, Batman! Have I turned into some interesting alleys and off ramps in my day. I have no doubt there will be many MANY more! But WOW, am I ever thankful for those twists, turns, and bouts of construction along the way. I LOVE where I am now.
It's like taking a trip that you have taken one hundred times before. Suddenly you blow a tire, or run out of gas, and are forced to exit somewhere you'd never had the time to notice before. You find yourself somewhere completely foreign. You pull into a rustic looking shop, hoping to at least use a phone, only to find the greatest couple on the planet. These people don't know you from Adam's housecat, and yet they help you out. Invite you in, keep you comfortable, and assist you.
Had this obstacle NOT had happened, would your trip be ruined? Not likely... but since it did, you leave there all the better, because of an "unlucky" circumstance. This is life. We may not like what happens along the way. We may even complain about these things, and yet.... life would seem empty when you take away all of these tiny little "mishaps".
God bless my mistakes. Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to fall on my face a lot. Thank God that I never have to know what life would be like now, otherwise.
So.. your past matters, but only because it has molded your present. Your future matters, only as curves ahead, along your journey. What you do now... today.. that's what matters.
What will I do today? Be thankful for yesterday and tomorrow :)
God bless the imperfect :)
