On Moving On

Perhaps it is time…and past time…to look more closely at the demands and fruits of our own lives. The national follies are currently always in our faces,and we may be in danger of letting our lives become a side show to the national hullabaloo. Karma has a part to play at the national level, and perhaps we should stand out of the way and let it do so.

Our good attention...

After all, there should be nothing sweeter or more fascinating than the track of our lives. Little kids all know this. They usually can’t wait to get out of bed each morning to see what’s before them. But seriously, the only life we really have any permanence over is our own, and it probably needs our good attention.

 Unique gifts to bring...

We are firmly into 2017, replete with birthdays to celebrate, occasions to mark and dreams to put into form. Do we not know that we have unique gifts to bring through our atmospheres every time we enter a room? When was the last time we thought about making an impact rather than just absorbing the murkiness in front of us?

Things to do...

I kid you not. We have way more to engage in than we think we do, especially if we come into a situation full of purpose and focus. As my father used to say, we have things to do, places to go and people to see. If we do not mind our own store and pay attention to what is ours to do, we are, for all intents and purposes, giving our power away to others by default.

Let’s get at it and get moving!
