Good Saturday morning!
Don't you love when the planets align?
And I think it happens more often than we realize. I've had a myriad of thoughts so far this
morning; while doing yoga, making my oatmeal, putting on my stretchy pants,
making my bed. But I wasn't really sure
of the direction I wanted to go. Opened
my email and there it was: Oprah's life classes with Rick Warren; author of the
Purpose Driven Life. How you like them
apples! I had been thinking how each of
us has purpose in this world. Every
single being on this great blue marble hurtling through space. And, as I have a good memory, it’s just
short! I may have touched on this before.
My kids in my Sunday school class and my kids at home, I reinforce to
them often: “You are important! What you
DO, MATTERS!” I’m not just telling them,
I’m telling me. Every day you go out in
the world, you make an impression. (I do
a great impression of my wonderful Indian neurologist but that’s a different story!) Don’t sell yourself short today. Or any day.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. And if this day doesn’t go so well in your
eyes, then TOMORROW is the first day of the rest of your life. And so on, and so on. Some people may just not want to think about
it. Just carry on and, well, why do I
have to make things so complicated?! And
that’s totally cool! I’ll never, ever,
ever (I’ll eat those words, I’m sure) tell someone how to live his or her life. My
purpose, at least right now, is to share options. (So many times in my life, I was so deep in
the trench I couldn’t see the options and was it providence, the universe, divine
intervention? That reached out and gave me light through an ordinary person who
I may or may not still know? But oh what impact they had!). Live your life the
best way you know how; it’s possibly one shot!
Write a novel! Learn a new
language! Watch an 80’s flashback Family
Feud marathon and eat corn chips all day!
Just know that you have options. And, in light of recent events, and even
daily events, I'm realizing more and more how precious my life is. And
when I realized I didn’t have to be so angry anymore, I started to realize that
life is pretty open. I love to eat
oatmeal, do yoga, and make my bed.
Crazy, I know. But it is in the
simple things I find the greatest pleasure.
And don’t get me started on my kids!!
I don’t want to be THAT person!
Well, not all the time. :D So enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. I hope, wherever you go, it leads you to
peace. J
