Your Feet

If you ever find yourself feeling put upon by what other people seem to expect of you, take a moment to do this important action.

LOOK DOWN AT YOUR FEET.

Those two body parts are controlled by one person, and one person only.  You and I are %100 responsible for what those feet are doing now, and will be doing in ten minutes, and even what they were doing two years ago when you were suffering in a bad relationship. Your feet.  Nobody controls them but you.   But the key is RIGHT NOW. What are you doing with them, and what are they doing with you?  This moment is the only one that you can really affect, really change, really make a different choice. This moment, right here.

Diabetes

Can be controlled.  Never let yourself get it, and if you do, change everything.

Today, I am thankful the doctor said "pre-diabetes" to me and hounded me until I corrected it.  I am also thankful my brother and sister took it very seriously when they were diagnosed with type II diabetes.

They are healthy, I am grateful. 

In my transitioning others, I have seen diabetes at its worst, and I am trying to forget it but don't believe I will.

A Transition Poem.

Motionless, directionless, focus-less

Fear grasps at polluted air--

Unless and until  focus, direction and motion

take hold. Then the relief through change.

Comes a transition every time you move--

which for a moment replaces fear,  who nevertheless

may call again soon.

A Lifetime Supply

You have been given a lifetime supply of that body in the mirror.  So literally, until you are dead, you are in charge of that! But WAIT.  Whose body do you see in the mirror?Well, you might answer--"MY body of course."    Who just said that? Who just claimed the body to belong to THEM?  The body is separate from the mind, and that is what I'm getting at.  

There is a YOU that is different than that changing body in the mirror.  You exist in more than your body.  There is greatness in you that lives on and on, unchanged while  the body does it's crazy growing, changing, dying thing. 

When you understand this, you know you have this current body for a limited time, and yet there is a wise, timeless self that is you, too, that can guide you well. So let's begin to enjoy this trip.  Be grateful you have a body to experience life through.

You get to decide....who will you love? What will you change, how will you live? Who gets to be a part of your world? Your choice! 

Like Being Born

After we enter the world from inside our mother, we don't spend time worrying about "what if I should have stayed in there? I've never done this before, what if I can't do it?", and thank goodness!.  We just start breathing, and go from there. We learn, we grow, we survive, and I would like to see all of us take the next step above surviving, and THRIVE!
