Not lost...just undiscovered

Reflection.  On the last day of each year, that seems to be the common theme.  I wonder how different our year would be, if we reflected each day, renewed our intentions, stayed present in the moment.  What would you do differently.  Living each day intentionally instead of reactively.  Some feel change is to difficult to handle, after all, there is c omfort in predictability.  Change is certainly anxiety provoking at its core. Albert Einstein once said, "The measure of intelligence is the ability to change".  We can all change.  Only a brief amount of courage is needed to face any fears that get in the way.  So today I reflect the past, but won't live in it. Today I also embrace the change of the future. Grateful, exciting, beautiful, and full of abundance. Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.” -- Benjamin Franklin

Today is the first day of yet another new Journey. "So if you're not going to play ball, you're not an agency person. Maybe you should consider if you're still a good fit here" Mmmm....misappropriate government funding that not only violates regulations, it serves to hurt the people who do the most important work for the most vulenrable folks in our society. Yeah, not a good fit for me anymore. So here I am, 61 years old and ready to reinvent myself yet again. Change is always anxiety provoking, yet, growth cannot happen if you stay exactly as you are, where you are, how you are. I'm ready to move forward with intention, purpose, faith and love. Follow me on this journey and lets grow together.

Hanging on Hanging on by a thread or is it more like  being suspended in mid air when you aren't sure of what is coming next when you are no longer one of a pair Hanging on by a thread or is it the removal of unnecessary strands that gives the freedom to move lightly through till the day you will softly land

Most shy from direct contact From this rather small stature of a man His bite is worse than his bark And engagement is not desired Take a moment more And see a man riddled with cancer Who would never tell you Of his personal battle to survive His focus remains on securing The safe loving future Of an adult child who will alway need care As her ability to take care of herself was taken at birth Excuses won't penetrate him As results in his favor is what he seeks He demands to be asssured That she will continue to be nurtured Most should engage contact With this rather small stature of a man His love is hidden deep but larger than life itself Desire to look deeper is needed
