Why yes you guessed it, we woke up with that extra giddy-up in our step this morning. Or maybe it is because we got (many hours) of such deep sleep! Or, could it be because we are finally experiencing some Fall-like morning temps. Texas style! It’s a combination of outside/external influences for sure. And if you know me at all then you know that even when the outside influences become roadblocks, I will scoop up the gratitude that is within me to bring out my sassy soul and remind myself of just who I am! My own free acts remain the roots upon which my happiness infiltrates my being. (that’s a mouthful) Of course a little help from cool mornings, hot coffee, Eddie laying nearby as I watch the sun rise all from our balcony …… well, you get picture! The path is clear to me. And most importantly, I know I am never alone on my journey. ➕ I am so happy with my journey. I really am able to let things fall as they may. I cannot (and don’t want to) control everything. When you finally realize you can’t anyway, life becomes more peaceful. Oh I know that difficult things will happen. And when they do …… is when I reach deep inside for the reservoir of love and strength that only my Lord provides. And guess what, He also provides the peace and calm that I have learned to cultivate and grow. Hey, now that just gives me goosebumps! Eudaimonia
– – – – – – – – Dear God, Thank you for this day and this wonderful journey that I am blessed to witness. Amen. ➕
