Treasure

I am blessed, truly. I have so much to be grateful for in my life. I have material wealth or things that I "own." I have an amazing family and great friends. I have wonderful experiences...ups and downs. All these make my life wonderful. 


Focusing on the "things" (experiences, materials, people) not currently part of my life negates all the good I actually have right now. How ungrateful I can be!


Instead of clinging to little pieces of life and closing myself off to all my dreams, I choose to be the powerful, amazing woman I am...have been...will be again.


I am not perfect. I know, you're surprised...that I can admit it. I'm not always right. In fact I'm often wrong (much to my chagrin). I still struggle with weakness, challenge, opportunities for growth. Often I don't want to overcome...too often I want to curl up and hide away from trials, tribulations and their like.


But I'm a good person. I love people, not just the ones I know. I try to do my best all the time. I am honest even when it's not comfortable. I forgive though it's tougher to forgive myself sometimes. I deserve good things in my life.


It's time for me to live my motto, time to "go confidently in the direction of my dreams!" I choose to live the life I imagined, that I imagine today. I choose life and happiness and, while I may stumble, I will pick myself up, dust myself off and head that direction again and again until the closing credits roll.


I am blessed, truly. Thank you, God, the Universe, friends, family, life!
