PURGING FOR PEACE

"If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself."  Norman Vincent Peale

Slowly the year 2008 is creeping  to an end.... do something for yourself. ...Now is a good time to take inventory of your life, yourself..... Look around and inside yourself and see what is of no use to you, what is it that's in your way (old clothes, shoes, pictures, people)...I did some house cleaning this year(maybe a little longer than a year) but anyway I am finally rid of somethings (a lot of it was purely insecurity).... I had held on to stuff for so long until I felt that if  I tossed it out I would  toss out a piece of myself...It was just the opposite...By letting go of the old I discovered the new...Simple things that bring me joy....I am doing things that are purely for my enjoyment...It's okay to put self first (sometimes)....We can not enjoy life if we are not living life....This kind of goes back to an earlier entry where I talked about just being...Not being a mother, a sister or whatever but just being...I discovered by just being it helped me to get to know me...Don't  be fooled I love being a mom or whatever but knowing what's on the inside of me has made a world of difference...It has opened new doors.....It's made me a better me ...a happier me... Time is winding down there are only a few days left in '08 and now is as good a time as any to discover a new more exciting, happier you that is if you are feeling as if the world is passing you by....My final inventory tally was peace, joy and happiness...Be blessed and be a blessing to someone.
