There is an eagle in
me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow
in the mud. [Carl Sandburg]
This is the way I often feel. I was just writing about how
I stick and stall and spend my Nows in thought-cramping brain-freezes rather
than choosing to soar. Life is a curious business and somedays the best I can
manage is SEEing it clearly in the rearview mirror.
As long as you keep a
person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it
means you cannot soar as you otherwise might. [Marian Anderson]
This is a humbling thought. I have been focusing on the
half-emptiness of things a lot more than I would like of late. I have focused
on the negative and in the process missed completely seeing the positivity that
is ALWAYS there.
ALWAYS.
While I am NOT pleased that I have been engaged in the
negative, I am glad for seeing
it and knowing that it is merely a shift in focus that will bring me back to
where I prefer BEing.
Where I CHOOSE to BE.
Refuse to be average.
Let your heart soar as high as it will. [Aiden Wilson Tozer]
It really is that simple, isn’t it?!
I love you, Currie

I've noticed these last few years how negativity effects my body and mind--judgment and worrying are my biggest offenders. They literally hurt me now. And feel like a physical weight on me. I cannot ignore them like I could when I was healthier. That's a good thing. There are always silver linings. :)
