I find them interesting and I could get more readers to my blog. I try to keep my blog positive and encouraging. Sometime that encouragement is to me.
One lady (Absolutely Positive) read my blog and I saw myself in her, I never want to grow up, or old. I am 64, but I do not want to use that as an excuse for anything.
My life is an open book. ( I talk too much) I tell jokes on my husband and I don't mind telling of my shortcomings. That is what makes it so funny.
I Love a good laugh, I love to make people laugh. I try to find humor in every situation.
I was not always this way, It took training myself to realize, "Hey I am a creation of God and if He made me, I must be perfect, at least in his eyes,"
Perfection in human eyes is another story but I try to live by the spirit inside me. I admit often the human spirit has to take a step back and let the spiritual being take over, although the human part wants to fight. I want a good yell, or snap back. But after a few moments I realize, "What will that accomplish but make me miserable?"
Now to give credit, I picked most of this up from my husband. The ever soft spoken, smiling, gentle soul that he is.
Oh I gave him hell the first few years of marriage, Then I caught on, I could win more flies with honey so I learned to turn the honey on.
It worked, It worked for the spirit inside me, It began to show outwardly. People loved me for who I was not who they thought I should be. I became accepted because my love of God began to show through the silly, immature, ever talking exterior.
I tried to be other peoples ideas of me, I can tell you that does not work, You are not being true to yourself or the Person God meant you to be. You will be miserable.
So I was not sure what I was going to post today, but this is it, I am proud to be a Child of God and have his spirit revealed in my life and smile.
I sent a note to my niece, she asked me about the cancer battle I had.
She responded with, "No one has made me laugh and cry in the same note but you did it,
You made me laugh, cry and I am in awe of you."
What a sweet thing to say. I am nothing to be in awe of, I am a free spirit, Always have been, always will be. Laugh when you feel like crying. Find something in your past that caused you to laugh. I have several that can do that to me. Better yet, I open a photo of my grandchildren and see their innocence and I smile. I smile when I think about the Love of God in their lives and the blessings he bestowed upon my Husband and I with their presence.
I sure hope you love music, I love to reprint these words, the song resonates through my heart and I hear Nat King Cole singing.
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
