Today's Reflection
An Unfolding Story
Our lives are like a story told one day at a time. Some of our story has been revealed; much remains. Yet life is not like a book in which you can skip ahead; life unfolds one day at a time.
Though it may be hard right now, let's not wish any of it away but live each day fully. We are the only ones who can write our story.
Am I fully present in my life today?
Thought for the Day
Change is not visible on a daily basis but may be revealed when I am not looking.

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Somebody somewhere said "Time is God's way of keeping everything from happening all at once."
So many times I've sat and thought "oh I wish I could go back in time and change this or that - or do something or say something different" - but when I really think about it, everything has unfolded in my life in a way that makes who I am, well, who I am. Do I really want to change who I am? There are things and traits and habits about myself I don't like - and I would like to see those things change. But I really don't want to be someone different - I just want to be me, only better. And the only way I can be a better me is to grow and change a minute and a step and a day at a time. I just love your post - yes my story is not fully written and I can only live it a moment at a time - and I sure want to make the most of all those unwritten moments and LOVE and CHERISH each one of them - even the hard ones - because at some point the story will be ended - at least the earthly one - and want to look back on it and think "well written".
