Too much yesterday or too much tomorrow is just too much for today.
Laughter is indeed the best way for us to thrive. Through laughter we can overcome any pain we face. It isn’t negating the hard times it is simply focusing on the good in the midst of life. Life will always have challenges. Whether they are small or big we always have decisions to make. What should I have for breakfast, where should we live, what job should support us, how can we decide all of these things with out a greater power helping us? Should I have a drink or should I not? Should I buy organic or should I save the money? Should I choose this type of education or should I choose that one? What I realized in all of it is this, we only have to make one decision at a time. It is the only way we can choose wisely. The one at a time method seems to be a continual answer to most solutions. One hour at a time, one decision at a time, one conversation at a time, one task at a time, one thing at a time done well. Right now my task is to fully get ready for the day. Then I will fully sit and write.
It is maddening when technology tries to stop me. I know without a doubt the enemy and his team use simple things to TRY and stop good from happening. Good news is he isn’t more powerful than the God within me and the little power that he does have is not actually real. Big voice, no power. Ant vs. elephant… He can give ideas but he cannot make us choose. The beauty of choice is that it is in fact ours and nobody can take that away from us. We will always have an or in life and that’s when our core comes out in the storms of life. We can choice to throw the computer because it won’t connect to the internet or we can choose to find a notebook. I can choose to cry over the notebooks that got burnt up in our fire or choose to be determined to use my limited abilities the best I can. I have a big future ahead of me with a lot of choices. Decide. There is no right or wrong, just do and make the best of it with a content heart.
Balance is a tough word for me to understand. I have never been good at it but as I find sobriety and a clear mind I am able to comprehend it a little deeper. It means that in all things, no matter the strength, you must be able to be in control of it vs it controlling you. The balance needs to be found between work and play, between chips and kale, between walks around the block or marathons up mountains. It will never be easy to find but I have found this. I know that if I do my best in the little things they will add up to the best of me as a whole. Creating balance in my choices is simple if I do one at a time. What do I really want and what do I really want because I need it. That demands balance. The want/need balance of life has been thrown at me as a realm of choices to be made. I want lots of space, I need a toilet. Well… how does one decide then? One choice at a time. The choice in front of you right now comes first. Will you choose to do along with dream or will you choose to live in fear and fail because you never even tried. I want to start this blog because my heart deeply desires a way to share hope. I want all people to know that hope is capable of growing because we still have breath in our lungs. My mother has taught me that as long as we are alive we have a chance to try again. It is never to late to begin again. Though we stumble we do not have to stop. Thank those stumbles for helping us have a story and thank those stories for making us who we are. These are my stories, I’ll do my best to keep them in order but I think as I write this I will do my best to not confuse you so I may repeat myself at times. I want you to ask questions, I want you to criticize me, I want you to push my buttons because guess what, I learn the most that way. I love to learn and I love to grow so let the growing begin. Love to you all… Ps. This will be far from perfect because I am far from perfect, please ignore my typos and misuse of ..., and’s, likes, and ;alsdkjf;asoidgjpaoweiflakj; (it’s a scream.lol.)😊
