christmas closet clutter full happy however life positive purpose rid room serve three wait whatever
I've been getting rid of some clutter anything that doesn't serve a positive purpose in my life and making room for things that feel happy to me. Because I get to make my life whatever I want it to be. I get to make the room feel however I want it to feel. I get to make the closet as full or as spacious as I want it. And, if I have more clutter to get rid of after Christmas, I'm not going to wait a year, or two or three to do it.

act along areas believe decided great line maybe realized somewhere though today
Somewhere along the line I decided that if I had something or did something that maybe it wasn't so great after all. I don't believe that anymore, but I realized today that in some areas I still act as though I do. I won't anymore. Smile. Sigh. Smile.
keeps less quest
Sometimes less is more. Our quest for more, then, keeps us from it.
decide edge giver return sit stay three toward turn walking water whether yield
I still find myself walking away from the water's edge before I have what I need. I turn around and walk back toward the water ...sometimes two or three times, as if I can't decide whether to stay or leave. I will sit down more often and yield to the giver ...and when I return to my desk, I will have what I want to give.
feels time
Here I am again. And the familiarity feels more uncomfortable than comfortable. It's time to make a change. And, now, I have what we need to make it.
asking maybe question
When I keep asking myself the same question over and over, maybe it's not because I don't have the answer, but because I don't like the answer.
cried deeper feels god quit remind sound trying weary
I cried, and cried some more. I told God that I was weary of trying. And, God told me to quit trying. It doesn't sound like a revelation, but it feels like a revelation. Because I got it on a deeper level. I'm going to quit trying. When I forget, I'm going to remind myself. I'm going to do what I want to do; and I'm going to quit trying to do the rest. It's not the doing that's exhausting; it's the trying. The doing is exhilarating!
buried hard lack learning miracle rather reason struggle trust
I am learning to trust my instincts, rather than struggle too hard with reason ... because reason can get buried in misinformation, or too much information; and it can lack the miracle of love.
chance deal familiar feeling felt fully glad happy recognize second sooner third wondering
I am here again, in a familiar place feeling something I've felt before, wondering why it's still here, why I didn't deal with it more fully before. But I'm glad I have a second chance at it ... and I know that if I need a third chance, I'll get it. I also know that if it comes up again, I'll recognize it sooner and deal with it more readily. This is growth. And, I am happy to be alive.
believe contribute life love
I am sometimes disappointed, but I love my life ... and I must believe that the disappointments contribute something to what I love.
hear quiet truth
If we quiet our minds, we can hear the truth discerned by the heart.
acting caught talking
If we're not careful, we can get caught up in talking about what we don't know ...instead of acting on what we do know.
avoid taking
I don't have to be doing too much to avoid taking on more!
