Today is one of those "stop and reflect" kind of days for me. One of those ones where you take a minute to do a spirtual self-examination and weigh all of the achievements and failures of a lifetime and add them up.
Right about now, I'm not feeling too bad about that measurement.
I may not have done anything "spectacular" with my life, but it hasn't been a "waste", either, so I'm pretty grateful, and will take the "Be kind to myself." value I've gotten out of it. Peace.
For those struggling in Japan... and for those who survived and lost family and friends at Christchurch, my heart goes out to you ... and offer this prayer from a devotional book written by John Baillie:
Let me stand today-
for whatever is pure and true and just and good
for the advancement of science and education and true learning:
for the redemption of daily business from the blight of self-seeking:
for the rights of the weak and oppressed:
for industrial co-operation and mutual help:
for the conservation of the rich traditions of the past:
for the recognition of new workings of Thy Spirit in the minds of the men of my own time:
for the hope of yet more glorious days to come.
Much love <3
When in doubt, always try and remember that the sun will be shining somewhere, and that every time you feel like crying somebody is having a laugh and that nothing is ever as bad as it seems. Happy New Year!
