You Decide

Most of who we are, what we do, and where we are going relates to our attitude. Being tired, bored, scared, or unhappy are decisions, nothing more. ~ Casey, Karen. Keepers of The Wisdom Daily Meditations: Reflections From Lives Well Lived (Kindle Locations 1591-1592). Hazelden Publishing.

I have decided to find truth
above and beyond sitting in this recliner
and meeting the needs of the dogs,
myself, my husband and the household.
I am not going to dwell on mobility issues,
on the effects of a stroke making typing hunt-and-peck,
on wishing the house were less cluttered,
I am reading daily twelve meditation books,
two Christian daily readings,
selections from A Course of Miracles
and The Power of Now,
and OneYearBibleOnline,
and writing a Recovery Daily Dose poem...
and to my utter amazement loving my life.
I pray to be led from negative thoughts,
from the "poor-me" habits.
I pray to look ahead but to cherish now,
and to envision the glory of God.
I want to be joyful in the present,
thrilled that all is well,
and aware of the mystery and wonder
all around.
I will bless those that might rattle my peace
and will them their own peace.
