It's quite silly in some respects but in others it shows how powerful words can be. We really like to find that something to hold onto. Those words inspire us to stick to our guns and keep trying.
I always have this idea of wiping the slate clean and beginning again - starting fresh to reach that end point.
I'm sincerely trying that in all aspects of my life at the moment. It is good to learn from past mistakes but its not good to be burdened down by them. I'm happy to be fifty but I don't want to believe that the best is done with yet. I am shaped and a little scarred by what fifty years has done to me but I'm hopeful of what the next fifty might bring.
I want to write, read, walk and breath. I want to love my husband, see my children find their bliss, help my family and friends move into their future paths. I want to try new challenges and travel new places. I want to sit on a beach in the early morning and know I'm home.
Anytime you say yes to something you are saying no to something else. And conversely every time you say no to something you are saying yes to something else.
I like this saying - I like the potential of the decision - the opportunity that is held completely in my hands.
Today I make decisions - Today I will say yes to so many things and no to others.
How exciting that can be!
