My Life

Life as I know it has changed.  Maybe not how others view me or my life.  But inside of me.  In that place where I really live.  I am finding that peace is not always given.  Sometimes it has to be pursued, picked up, taken.  I am learning that I have to take responsibility for my own stuff.  And that I am not responsible for someone else's stuff.  I am learning that because someone says that he is sorry and I say that I forgive DOESN'T mean that life has to go back to the same old rut and habits.  I get to choose to live differently.
I am learning that sometimes letting someone fail, not covering for him, not making it all ok.....can actually allow he and God the time that they need to get together.  And....God and I too.
I am learning that the fate of the world does not rest upon my succeeding in everything.  And that "failing" is often just the precursor to another part of life being a great success.
My life has changed.  My heart has changed.
I have changed.  For the better.  No, I am not hard hearted.  No, I am not uncaring.  I have simply realized that I matter also.  And that being me is important.  I'm the only me that there is.
grace to you.
