Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

Energy

Filed under: Uncategorized — gardener @ 11:06 am

It could be the x (I lost count) cups of coffee today, or it could be the work outs I’ve been having the past week or so, but I am so filled with energy these days, and I love it.    I actually wonder if part of it has to do with the fact that I’m actually enjoying my work outs, but whatever it is, I hope it continues for the rest of my life.

I remember when I was inching closer and closer to 40, and how I struggled with it.   After all, this is the girl that was 10 years old when her mom turned 30, and I remember thinking that she was  ‘old’  – at 30.  How crazy is that?   Now 70 doesn’t sound old- but rather anything over 100 does.   

Many people told me that life really begins at 40, and I really remember rolling my eyes and thinking- “yeah right”, but as with most everything in life- much depends on our attitude and how we approach and react to the things that happen in our lives.   

40 came and went, and this year (several months from now), I’ll be celebrating my 42nd birthday.   One of my very best and dearest friends is flying out a week before my birthday, because six days before, she will be celebrating her 40th, and we’re going to do it together..   We have big plans, and she was able to plan her trip in a way that she’ll not only be here for her birthday, but for mine as well.  It’s going to be a whole lot of fun, and poor Marcel will probably be doing alot of groaning at all the giggling and laughter that will be going on.   I’m excited.  It will be one for the record books.

Today I was emailing a friend and in the email she’d sent me, she asked how I was doing.   I responded with aside from the sinus and allergy issues that I have going on right now, that I don’t think I’ve ever felt better in my life, and I haven’t.   I’m so grateful- so much so that words really can’t express.

I believe that I’ve learned so much in my life- lessons that I’ve carried with me, lessons that are making a huge difference in my life.   Learning how to let go of the things that don’t work in my life, or things that no longer matter.  Learning that I don’t have to accept something that I don’t believe in, and that it’s my God given right to say NO, and not have to defend the fact that I chose to do so.

It doesn’t mean that life is always perfect- after all, I believe perfect died on the cross with Jesus more than 2000 years ago, but what I do know is that even when life may give me lemons, I can always make lemonade.  Life IS all about choices-  and those choices will reflect what is happening in your life.
