A new year... a new day ... every day

Am I really blogging? I really don't have time for this, but I got to thinking how much I have come to understand the depths of another person just by reading their blogs. Each blog from an individual contains the ups and downs and thoughts and perspective of the individual for that particular day -- over a period of blogs, one can really piece together the life of another. To me that is fascinating!

I'm big into writing in my journal, when I can find the time. And, I realized that's what blogging is all about, well at least to me. It's who I am, what I'm thinking, what I want others to know, or to think about -- and who knows who might read something on it that happens to be just the piece they needed to fill in the jigsaw puzzle of their own life! So rather than keeping my thoughts bottled up in little journal books on the shelf in my room collecting dust and only accessible through my eyes, maybe I'll give this blogging a try! Well, there may still be some thoughts that will be reserved for the good ol paper and pen entries, just so I don't forget how to write with a pen.

Happy Blogging ~ thought for the day.... If your angry because someone is not living up to your standards and expectations, rather than living in strife with that person, why not just recognize that God has not brought them through the process in life yet where they are able to meet your expectations -- assuming your expectations are justified that is! Maybe step back, take your hands off the wheel, and give God the space to work in this persons life just like He did in yours. Accept that that person is where he/she is in life, and no amount of your anger will help him or her move to a new level. Faith ~ Hope ~ Love -- the greatest of these is Love.
