Knowing Exactly What To Do

I have been struggling lately to know exactly what I really am supposed to do in this lifetime before I leave this earth. There are many things I have been doing, some of which I was actually called to do, and others that I have been doing. I have been blessed to have a heart for many things. I have been blessed to be in the right place at the right time many times. However, I know that deep within me, that there is something else that I am supposed to either be doing now or do soon.

It is something that is important. This time, I want to get it right. I do not want to go off a feeling. I want to go off pure knowledge. I have taken this time out for blogging to use as some type of journaling time to hope to release those other things that are on my mind to it can be freed up to hear whatever I am supposed to hear. Quietness is beautiful. I do not know what I am to do but I know that it is wonderful, whatever it is. I know that I am excited about doing it and I feel equipped or almost totally equipped to do it. I know that it will bring joy and happiness. That makes me very happy. As I get older, things are really being put into their proper prerpective. As I get older, I see why my grandparents seem to be more relaxed. I know now that they had things in their proper perspectives. That's clarity. That's another thing I desire.

When I discover what it is, I will tell you. I will blog immediately about it (after I give thanks). So, soon I hope to be sharing something GOOD!!!!

Peaceful Days

I know that if you have lived long enough, you have also felt those days when all you want to do is just sit back or lie dow and exhale one of the biggest breaths you have ever taken. Then, it would be quiettime. I am at that point now.

Helping myself to understand how to properly manage those types of days has taken me a while to be able to do but I think I have finally mastered it. I found it got to the point of reprioritizing my life. I found I really do have to put myself first some of the time. Others cannot occupy that spot all the time.

When I sit down and get quiet, my mind is able to just relax. Things become very clear when I do that, even my schedule. I see it clearly and I can then move things in and out or around. When I do that, I feel so good. I have that issue also with my home. Sometimes I feel like I have made it a clutter and just need to take the time to get it in order.

Taking a look at my priorities is a big thing to me at this age. A lot of things that would ordinarily bother or concern others do not even affect me now.It's not important to me to have designer apparell on my anywhere. It's not important that I own leather, silk, or any of the other expensive fabrics, etc. Life is not about that. I have always said that if I become ill and cannot work or feed myself, not one designer is going to come to my rescue. So, why should I spend my money making them very comfortable while I work hard each day and have to watch how my money is spent. Well................that's just my thought. I am not saying anything against anyone enjoys spending their own money on designer anything. Go for it.

It's just that I have come to realize what is really important in life and I'm sticking with that. I really do enjoy looking at the sky. I really do like cloudy days and rain. I really do like seeing the sunrise and sunset. I really do like the colors of falls leaves (very much) and flowers growing. When I become frazzled, I take in these things. They don't cost anything and can be retained in my memory for many, many years. I'm glad to have straightened out those priorities. What about you?
