In The End, Only
Three Things Matter: How Much You Loved, How Gently You Lived, And How
Gracefully You Let Go Of Things Not Meant For You.
These are the thoughts I try to remember. Why did I choose for this to
happen? What is the lesson here? It's as if I have a check-list of
lessons to learn in a limited amount of time. One big obstacle course
and scavenger hunt and labyrinth and capture-the-flag and hide and seek
game all combined into what we call life.
So when it rains, I remember that it is on purpose.
When I can't see clearly through the window, I accept that maybe I'm not meant to.
When the doors don't open, I trust that I'm meant to take the longer way through for a better reason.
When I make a mistake, I know that tests can be taken again. Wrong sizes
can be exchanged. Pencils have erasers. Computers allow us to cut and
paste. Wounds heal and scar tissue is stronger.
This post resonates with me. I've had a tough time of late..emotionally, past few years really..hopefully learning the lessons now, so thank you for such an encouraging post
First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com
