The sun sets on another day…
Swirling snowballs batman! What a serious bunch of crazy.
You know it’s kind of funny when you’re surrounded by the weather. Actually it’s funny that I say that since we’re always surrounded by the weather, just not usually this weather. While other areas in the state enjoy small dustings of snow and Pensacola Florida gets a lot, we sit here in over a foot of snow perhaps even more. With constant diligence I plow and snow blow and try to keep ahead.
There is no try, do or do not, at least that’s what I’ve heard.
Now I’m sitting here enjoying my time for just a moment after another semi-gloomy sunset we’re all I can do is enjoy the thought of how beautiful the sun is high above. Perhaps I have a little tunnel vision in that I want to be sure that everyday is a good day.
So is that tunnel vision bad? I’m not entirely sure. I’m watching a television show that is insanely positive all the time, and I feel an affinity for the main characters and how they approach life. As I’ve watched though I also feel an affinity for the sometimes difficult days when little things and bigger things try to take you down and keep you from enjoying your time. It doesn’t take much, perhaps just a reminder, perhaps something serious that happened 5 minutes ago or 5 years ago. There are always things that try to take our peace from us.
Then again there are ways around it all. All we have to do is sit back and try to enjoy the moments and as we do remember that those things that were so horrible will fade and even if they don’t they will become part of a new us that looks for ways to overcome any obstacle. We should everyday look for ways to overcome any and every obstacle that we face.
I know it’s not easy out there. I see people suffering for the sake of suffering, suffering for others, suffering for nothing in particular and I wonder. I wonder how we can take the moment and overcome those things that we can’t control. There are quite a lot of them. We have to remember that in the end that that we cannot control should not bother us but if we have control we should find a way to do something. Neat trick huh?
If you take a moment and remember the serenity prayer I think you will get it and it will all fall into place. Not only do we need the courage to face the things that we can and walk away from the things that we can’t, but somewhere in between we need the wisdom to know the difference. We need the wisdom to know what’s real.
So as the Sun sets on another day, I hope you are finding your way each day. I hope you realize that you are stronger than you think. I hope you realize that wisdom only comes with mistakes, and mistakes only come when you keep trying. Overcome it all everyday, and find a way to change the world, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and find your way…
