To live in the present and make it memorable is a key to happiness. Each day is a gift from God and although we often take it for granted.. it is not promised to us.
Will what you did today have a lasting impact? It is often the little things that matter most. A kind word, an unexpected compliment, a shared smile.....it doesn't take much to make a person's day. We all need joy boosters in our lives.
Accepting where you are in life is part of maturity. You are where you are in life based on your choices, goals and self motivation, if you don't like it.. change it. Some things we cannot change so then we just look for the bright side of those situations.
Last night, I used my air during part of the church service. As my pride struggled, I considered the blessing of my air being portable. I was where I wanted to be and accepting what I needed helped me visit with others after the service and made the most out of my day.
Many people will not admit they use a bypap machine to achieve a good nights sleep, let alone use that type devise in public. Your strength shows thru every day. Love you .............Dad
ReplyDeleteThose that really care about you always want what is best for you -- and if that means wearing a bipap when they are around then that is ok--forget about the pride thing and take care of your body. God wants us to take care of our bodies too. Mom
ReplyDeleteDitto your Mom and Dad. And, I must say, you are one of the MOST pride-free people I have ever known! At this age, I sometimes tend to reflect on the past and precious memories. However, I KNOW that it is TODAY that matters, and I want my "todays" to count for good for others and for glory to God. Thank you for this great reminder, Angie. Love you, sweet friend....T.
