Best Heart
Good morning. I've had some changes, setbacks, opportunities, and unexpected events come up, and I've been struggling with it all and sometimes, I feel incredibly vulnerable, but I'm also building strength. Made me think of this photo. It all brings up a lot of fear and too much thinking, for sure...but in spite of my feelings, I'm handling it all and moving forward, which makes me proud. In the end, it seems like it doesn't really matter which way I go. You see, I'm thinking of it differently as I age. I'm trying to follow my heart more, but I also have practicality to consider. And I can choose with my best heart.
And I can mess up. It's OK. :)
I have messed up a lot, when I look back. Yesterday, I started feeling a lot of regret, thinking of the many times when I have missed a "big break," so to speak. I began to beat myself up but then, I did what I've learned that helps -- I distracted myself. So, I stopped and listened to some music, because what's done is done. And I may be a woman with very little as far as material possessions go, and I'm watching/feeling my body age, which is uncomfortable (to put it mildly), but I'm proud of my integrity and character. And I'm proud of all of the hard work I've done in my life, despite numerous trials. What's past is past. I'm here now. And I keep reminding myself of something I believe, and that is this: if I get quiet, I will know. God wants me to be happy. God wants me to feel safe and loved. God wants me to be free. Help someone. Be compassionate with yourself and with others. Head toward love. Trust yourself and slow it down.
