What Can You Do

"I surrender all fear, all doubt. I let go of all uncertainty. I know there is no confusion, no lack of confidence. I know that what is mine will claim me, know me, rush to me. I accept the gift of Life for myself and for everyone else.
"This Thing Called You" by Ernest Holmes - p. 57


Don't you sometimes hate when things happen in life that directly affect you, and then there is nothing you can do about it but sit there and let it happen. Things like death in the family, changes to our body, politics, the weather, etc. Sometimes I sit around and think about these things. And the only solution I come up with is enjoy every moment as its our last. No regrets because when its all said and done, I will be satisfied.

I can give examples of each....when I look back on the death of my grandmother, that hurts me deeply. And all I can do is accept that it has happened, and think back on all of the times I spent with that great woman, and know that I told her that I love her and did all I could for her.

Changes in my body, well the older we get the harder we have to work to keep it in top shape. So I am in that battle these days. Tryna to maintain decent form. So I'm looking back on my youth thinking that when my metabolism was crazy, I did the most I possibly could with it.

Looking at these crazy politics. We have some form of control, but not much. We can only control whats around us and hope it has a domino effect. That is the best case scenario. Then turn to my ballot and cast that vote.

Whooo, this weather is something special, lol. Right now living in the north, I get 4 well defined seasons. And I like that. I make sure I experience what each season has to offer. The summer means go outside and run around, ride my bicycle, and travel....drink slurpees and ice cream cones. The winter means, chill at the crib more and spend time with the Irby's....drink hot chocolate and throw snowballs at little kids. The fall means happy hours and football season and most importantly the celebration of my birth! The spring means happy hour too! Also basketball and hockey seasons are at its peak...also means tbe beginning of traveling season for me.

Basically, live :-)
