Manifesto

On February 17 2014

I posted these words to Facebook.

They came as a memory today....

" Sometimes when I get sidetracked and busy,

I lose focus on the truths that are deep inside of my heart.

This morning as I start my day, (and a challenging week)

I am going to hold on tight to what I know to be beautiful and true for me.

Loving my God,

my family and friends,

learning to do things for others without expecting anything in return,

simplify.

I am going to focus on the things that I can control-

my attitude,

what goes into my mind and heart,

and taking care of my body.

The people I spend time with,

and the time I spend alone.

I do believe life is what we make it,

and I want life to be beautiful and peaceful."

That was six years ago.

At a quick glance over those years,

I'd say, I've done a pretty good job of living that way.

Not intentionally so much, 

but more because that is part of my truth.

Sometimes I fail! 

Most often with my attitude,

but also on things I can't control.

I think I let go of control...

until I find myself struggling again.

If I'm struggling....I can pretty much search my self

and see where I am trying to hard to make things work out my way.

I am getting better at that.

I think.

I'll let you know in another six years. 😉

" Many are the plans in a man's heart,

but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails"

-Proverbs 19:12
