I can hear birds chirping, the wall clock ticking and my mind wanders to times in my life that have made me be me. In life, there is only so much time to accomplish what we can...don't waste any time, work hard at being a good person.
As I sit here in my home, I am humbled by many things. Todd set me up to have a life with little or no worries....our house AND garage are paid for at my young age of 51. I am proud of how my boys have become young men, right before my eyes. Todd was such a great influence on them!
Growing up, my mom only thought about my dad and us kids; she made sure we never did without if it was in her power. She taught me that volunteering and helping others was the route to go in life. I do have a soft part in my heart for pleasing people in subtle ways; ways that make them feel good about themselves, ways that will make them a better person. At other times, I come right out and tell them what is on my mind, how wonderful they are - some might say I talk too much, but this is me.
So as I sat in the quietness of the morning today - I had no sad thoughts, only loving, happy thoughts of people who have touched my life. There so many more times to come of me being a people pleaser. GOD has a way of helping me be me, as he does all of you!!
