When I started seeing things happening without me initiating it, I thought I was doing something wrong...I was such a but-in-ski.  Now, it's just wonderful that I can just observe...and no longer judge that someone is making the wrong decision.


I'm praying to my HP on #11...I still expect myself to be a superwoman (a least in my mind)


Lately, I've had a few moments of just "SHEER JOY" that I'm alive, that I have choices, my health, my family, my HP, even my A.  Now my goal is to make those moments become HOURS, then DAYS.  I had a little talk with my HP, and I believe HE wants me to have a wonderful life....and life for me's been so hard these past few years.  So....I'm giving it up to HIM, and just waiting for the JOY, JOY JOY to enter my life, and stay there.  WHY NOT?  He made me, and I'm sure I'm supposed to happy!!!  If I can just GIVE HIM the control, I believe, if it's HIS will, that my outlook on life can change.


Wow....gotta get off my cloud...thanks again, Abby, for your words.

Buzz -- you made me laugh


Abbyal -- great post, I'm soooo into #9.  I have caught my self trying to figure out another's actions and then think.  (like Buzz said -- Holy Crap!) What am I doing.  Tossing my serenity out the window.  No thank you!!  Rather keep it, lol. 


What a great place to be when you can actually say that it is not worth it to try to figure out WHY they do what they do.  Gives me a whole lot more time to live my life And for today -- I'm really enjoying it.

what a great list lol i was nodding my head with them all saying yup! exactly!!!  I think having a spiritual awakining has always been something hard for me to put a "definition" to.  It's been an awesome experience, almost beyond words, it just as this list said, everything i used to do, i have no desire at all to do when it came to all the nouns and pronouns.  Great post tyty


love ya, Trina
