FORGIVENESS, LOVE AND SELF WORTH

As I sit here tonight I think about so many things and one of the reasons for starting this blog aside from food was to write and get down to the nitty gritty of this thing we call life. It is groundhog day, the Super Bowl just finished and what a Sunday. As my Sunday was unwinding to enjoy the Super Bowl I realized that despite the drama that people try to bring into your life, just stop, stop for a minute take a deep breath and look around. Take it all in because this moment will be the last time that you have THIS moment. In a matter of heart pounding chaos brought on by people who mean nothing I realized a few things. First and foremost I forgive and I will not let someone else’s faults bring me down. Next I turn my focus to me and my life and a moment of clarity came and in that moment I stopped to remind myself I am going to be a grandmother and WOW what a blessing, and my boys are home, both of them, laughing joking and they have friends over, my husband is laughing with all the boys and they are yelling at the t.v. sharing stories and playing with the dogs and my brother called me and we just talked, about nothing of any real value we just talked and then it hit me what a perfect day this is, what a blessing it is to just be apart of this, to be here in this moment. I have a bond with the people who mean the most to me and that is worth more than anything. I sit here tonight on this crazy chaotic Sunday feeling overwhelmed but not overwhelmed with life but with blessings and love. If we can just slow down for a moment and instead of complaining finding all the faults in our current situation put the good things first. Just say them out loud, yell to the top of your lungs, tell someone, tell yourself, write it down. Anything to put the good and positive before the bad, do not give the bad the power to control you. Remember that every night at midnight we are given a start over, a new day, a beginning and no one can take that from you. The past is the past and yes that includes yesterday, that includes 3 hours ago. You are worth it, you deserve it and you will get it.
