Fewer Difficult Days?

Mornin'

I was quietly contemplating my day ahead and some of my life this morning when a thought came to me concerning my life as it is today. I don't have too many materialistic distractions to cloud my connection to the Great Spirit and therefore find it easier than probably most to have basically a constant connection with the this Spirit.

That's neither here nor there. The important thing I want to impart on all of you is my discovery that I struggle  with people, principalities, and situations far less than even just a few months ago. After 46 years swimming against the current, I am finally internalizing what the old folks used to exude throughout my whole life. There was a certain peace and serenity about them that I wanted badly yet refused to investigate why they felt the way they did and how did they accomplish such a daunting task. Instead of asking them what they did to be in the mental and emotional state they were in, I, like many others, thought I had all the answers and could figure it all out.

I spent all my life turning over rocks in search of the magical component to life. After many years I realized that the answer to my dilemma was with me the whole time. What the older, wiser folks had was nothing more than wisdom from their and others' experiences in life. Like them, it was only when I had gone through my experiences in life did I gain the wisdom those folks had. Although I don't consider myself very wise, I do feel the peace and serenity that comes to me in my daily life stems from the wisdom of having lived half my life.

The beauty of discovering this at, the Great Spirit willing, the halfway point in my life gives me much hope that the latter days of my existence will be less bumpy than the previous ones. I get excited daily to wake up and live my little humble existence. I have a window of time when I will be off work and can work on projects that interest me. I love to write and continue to do so. Trying my hands at website design has always been a goal of mine as well. My hope is that anyone who reads this blog relates to some of its contents and can move to a better place within themselves and the world in which we live.

Peace
