Well, it’s time to go back to the North Dakota way of life. Admittedly I’ve enjoyed these last few months in California without snow or ice. But spring is here and off we go.
I miss my kids big and small to much to stay away from them for too long. Additionally, I love my North Dakota home and community filled with friends.
Tom and I know we have the best of both worlds these days. We have both worked long and hard in our lives and it’s time to enjoy life a little.
When you get a little older you appreciate things more.
Time is a biggie. Don’t waste the time you have left on self-indulgence, anger, or self-pity. Cherish every minute you gave together.
I’ve made more than my share of mistakes. I know along the way I’ve offended a few, while others have praised me.
I often hear that I’m a strong woman. That may be somewhat true now, but there was a time when it didn’t apply to me at all.
I was shy, unsure and self-conscious for a large part of my life. As I’ve grown older, I’ve not become stronger, but I like to think I’ve become wiser.
Early year thoughts that encouraged me to ‘please’ people faded away.
We are first and foremost responsible for ourselves.
Again, prayer and action is the clear path for our lives. Prayer is a wonderful thing. It brings peace, understanding and answers if we listen. Listening is key.
I call it an ‘aha’ moment when I finally hear an answer, and usually a better solution revealed to be about my concerns.
Wars, rumors of wars. . .
The way things are going these days maybe we should focus more on doing the right thing than we do on getting our own way.
Life is good today.
