I am quick to be reminded the world isn't going to end just because I'm unable to fulfill the plans I had for today... Life is all about being able to make lemonade when life hands you lemons... In my lifetime I've learned how to refine that recipe because I've had so much practice... Put in those terms I've learned lemonade isn't such a bad thing... It does tastefully quench my thirst... When it tastes a little too sour I must sweeten it a little to make it more palatable... It's my choice & totally up to me... When I come across obstacles I must remind myself, “If this is going to be it's totally up to me! It's a choice I must make for myself!”
I use a “Gratitude List”, starting at the top with all I'm Grateful for today, remembering all who have problems so much greater than mine... I don't pray for solutions to my problems because all at once they seem pretty insignificant in comparison...
One of my favorite singer/songwriters passed on yesterday... Today, I want to celebrate his life by including one of his compositions that is one of my all-time favorites... Given the plight of this old world, we're livin' in this is the message he left us with... What a legacy he left for us to enjoy... Thank you, Bill Withers, for all you gave to us... RIP my brother... This is my message to you, today...
