Life is Messy
I'm so very grateful for new days. For that matter... new moments. You see... we have the ever present power of choice at our disposal at all times. To deny that is to live as a victim. To embrace it... use it... brings us closer and closer to the victories in our lives. Sadly... and I am one, we sometimes we hold on for dear life to the things that actually keep us from moving forward. There is an upside and that is, the way we feel when we finally let go. The trick is, I guess, to not try to find our way around the curve balls that life serves up, but to live with them in a half-way, happy, easy alliance, all the while searching for new things to cling to and, when you finally find them, to hang onto, just as tight. Around and around and around we go, holding on until the time comes when we finally let go.
Like it or not... ready or not... we have to accept one Universal truth. Life is messy... always and for all of us.
Maybe messy is what we need.

I like to think of each a dawn as a new beginning and hopefully my coloring will continue to improve day by day! :)

Though it may be messy, as long as everyday we are progressing and moving forward to our next level, it should be find. :) Let go and let God. :) I always love yr blog post, it is awesome. :)
You have the right idea...embrace each of life's moments...once passed, it is gone forever....true, when they are 'bad' moments it is a profound relief it is 'over'....when it is good/great, it is sad to be 'gone'...but keeping your memories as an active part of self, you carry forward lessons learned....
Yes life has many corners to turn, but every corner you turn there is a new view. Look at it and review it. Choices, choices!
We can't appreciate light without dark nor love without hate, nor comfort without pain. Darn it! :)

HMMMM. had a couple of messy weeks around the teen I am raising. Have to say that I'm glad for a bit of a respite. Life being what it is thank goodness we can come back around to it and maybe this time around with a bit more wisdom for those choices or the ability to hand on. Teens...ahhhhhhh!
Always a joy to read what you write! "-)
