Life Provides…
I had a moment yesterday…
I was completely focused on my “problems” and how difficult life was seeming at the moment. I was trying to write something. It was in the afternoon and my apartment was too hot so I thought I would go down to the pool area. Too crowded… so I went to the fire pit area… and there was no one. I sat down in the shade, sweating, and started to write (kinda). Minutes passed, probably 15 minutes at least, of me “focusing” on my problems and difficulties… and then I noticed! RIGHT NEXT to the couch I was sitting on were the most PERFECT, SMALL, PURPLE-BLUE FLOWERS I had ever seen. They were just barely moving in the gentle breeze and it was almost like they were saying, “Hey! Hylan! Look here. Look at me! I am RIGHT here. I am beautiful. I am peaceful. I can bring you joy… if you are willing and open.”
It was a brilliant reminder… Life will ALWAYS provide us choices. Choices of what to focus on, how to think, how to act, how to feel, how to treat others, how to treat ourselves… just choices! ALWAYS. And then there is perspective… we get to CHOOSE what we focus on in this life. That is HUGE…
