Food for Thought .......

"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do." – Pope John XXIII


This appeals to mE because it says, "yes you can." I must always keep reminding myself that I still can. It seems to take a little more effort some days compaired to others.
Didn't it always, anyway? Am I more tired now than I was then? No, not really after sitting up all night rocking a baby.
Was the world a different place with a different attitude? Yes and no, maybe....... I had no time to really pay atttenton.
Maybe that is my problem now, I have too much time to pay attention and grip or compalin. Others are much worse off than mE or my family is.
We have our homes, jobs, health, clothing, food, water. Each other, so again,, what is my problem? Time to adjust, move on, and leave some of this heavier bagage right where I found it.
Acknowledge and move on. Think I at least owe it to myself to try. How about you?

BLESSINGS DEAR PAT AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOU HAVE GIVEN IN FRINDSHIP AND LOVE. YOU HAVE HELPED mE PICK UP THE PIECES MANY TIMES IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. I, IN TURN, HAVE GIVEN, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS YOU.
YOU ARE THE PATIENT ONE, UNDERSTANDING MY MANY MOODS. I AM THE LOST ONE TRYING TO SWIM TO SHORE. NOT KNOWING WHO I AM. BEING AWARE ENOUGH TO WANT ANSWERS TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHEN I FIND THEM.
IT CAN BE A HARSH WORLD, A DEFEATING WORLD, I AM TRYING NOT TO LET THAT HAPPEN. MY WRITING IS THE ONLY THING TO SAVE mE FROM MYSELF, IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE. I LIKE MANY, HAVE FACED THE DEMONS ALL MY LIFE, SO ONE MORE BATTLE SHOULD NOT BE THAT HARD.
