First Step On The Path

I made that first step on the path, it started with cleaning some of Valentina's room, we made a good dent after 3 hours and 2 full green bags.  Much more to go but at least she is being open minded to it.  Instead of throwing my hands up and saying forget it, there is too much... I have decided to take it one day as it comes.  Each day I will do a little to get organized, make it part of my routine.

The next thing I am really thinking about is exercise, I want to figure out a way to incorporate it in my life so that it will be easy enough that I won't think of excuses not to do it.  I am hoping that our bus strike here will not be a long one, it has inconvenienced so many people.  Once it's over, I think I will try to walk a little more.

I also think I need to do something that will help me to relax, something like meditation or yoga, I am going to look into that.  I want as much calmness in my life that is possible.  The more calmness, the more love, the more happiness and joy.

Negative things happen, I am not looking for them.  I am only looking for the positive, there is always something to learn even from challenges.  I know the past couple of weeks have been a huge challenge for me, I'm not sure that I have learned all that I need to learn.  However; I know one day I will understand the lesson and see that it was for the best.

I also know I was meant to be happy and have joy, we all are.  That isn't just for me, it's an offer to all of us.  We just have to see the positive, the goodness, the love.  Whenever I think my life is just falling apart and believe me, there are days.  I remember how blessed I have been throughout my life, I have always known, deep down, in my darkest times... that there is ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel.

I choose to feel happy, I choose to feel love... I choose to believe that I will have what I need in my life and even some of my wants.  All of course in accordance with what is best for me, it always ends up being what is best for me and that is when I see the goodness, after having made it through the dark tunnel.

I choose to give my best regardless of what other people give.  I choose to love even if it's scary, I choose to conquer my fears so that I can live the life I was meant to live.  My best life.
