Ladies, let me say that first of all that as we journey through life we realize that almost nothing in life is black and white! There are a lot of gray areas. We cannot predict nor could have ever foreseen anything that may have taken place in our lives. In our earlier years, we all had these visions of what our lives would be like, however now realizing that God perhaps had other plans. Knowing of course that some were "his" plans for us and others were simply ours. We have learned in retrospect and have acknowledged, taking accountability and have moved forward . We learn that although we cannot change the past.... we can certainly do something about our future. We no longer think the way we use to and as the young folks say, we no longer "move" the same way. At this age most of us desire PEACE and we desire it at all cost! We pray it for our families, friends, co-workers, etc. We, however find that much like in the pursuit of happiness, it does take some work! I think it comes hand in hand......when you have found peace.... you have found happiness!
For me, it's been a journey and going through life experiences and coming out of it has definitely changed me. I feel more self assured than ever now, in knowing just what my priorities are in life, and that is to just live and let live! I feel really good about myself, because surviving some things and being able to come out with a renewed spirit just gives me hope and a sense of accomplishment . I feel that there is nothing that I can't handle. I was fortunate enough to meet some really inspiring women at my exercise class, a sister circle that uplifts and inspires through me just stepping out of my comfort zone. Taking that first step! I have learned to protect my peace and my energy at all cost. Although I am willing to grow and learn, I also have learned to set boundaries. Someone once said..... it is the greatest feeling in the world when you really don't care what anybody thinks of you. I also have echoed that sentiment. I laugh and want to laugh even more now because its soo very true...... laughter is good for the soul. I remain grateful for everything in my life and am able to recognize the smallest of God's blessing that comes my way. I try to take care of myself in eating right and exercising, and I feel confident when I look in the mirror, not at all that I am trying to be a younger version of myself, but in just being the best I can be at 65 years old! I feel good spiritually and emotionally in my decisions and interactions. I just ask for God's discernment in things and say.....if it's ok with God..... its ok with me! I without a doubt get my answer and move on with that. There is no formula to creating your own peace because everyone is different and have....... or have had different experiences. We live in a world of judgment and blame because we have different perspectives and opinions. We learn to check ourselves before anyone else does. We don't move in hate or condemnation , but in mutual respect. We just know and realize that we all have to look deep within ourselves.......and fix whatever needs fixing, hold ourselves accountable and move accordingly. That for me is where I find my peace! Letting go of insecurities and just working on being a better me! We move on just doing the best we can which absolutely is all that is required of any of us. Whatever it takes for us to get there............just DO IT!
to get there.....DO IT!!
