Memories

In light of trying to simply my life, I have been going through and de-cluttering my closets and cubby holes. Isn't this what you do in January???! Anyway, I was in our little shed, and popped off the top of a container. In it was forgotten items that I had taken from my mothers home after she passed. I brought them inside to unpack, and memories of past times started to surface, which caused my thoughts to drift to unhappy occasions. I realized that you can really sink low if you choose to dwell on bad moments or unkind words....mmm. After all, you can't go back and change it, but I can change. Eh?

Most of these items were glassware, so I carefully washed them with hot soapy suds and chose to remember the good times and used the art of understanding- lacing it with wisdom - to choose the better memories. My father used to be a barber, so straight razors I have. A pair of my fathers eye glasses made me smile. I hope my son will be willing to have them as to remember his grandfather.

You can't change the past, things said or done, but you can choose to have understanding and ask for wisdom, to forgive.

Which all of this brings me to: Wow- I am the "adult" now. Well, I have been an adult for a long time! Well I mean that hopefully, I will be looked up to for wisdom, advise and unconditional love. I hope that I can deliver with Gods help!
