At the stroke of 12 midnight all of the year past shall be ushered into history. All of it's joy, sorrow, pain, exhilaration, good times and bad times will become nothing more than memories. Looking back on them are you encouraged by what you see? Remember they are but the shadows of our decisions that we made.
Will we repeat them again this upcoming year?
Are we going to "reap" this coming year what we "sowed" yesteryear? Of course we will. There is no avoiding that fact.
So how will that help/direct our decision making starting tomorrow?
This year I think I will start by thinking things out a little better before I commit to "words or deeds" that carry "longevity" to them.
I'm going to "guard my heart" closer because "the issues of life are in the heart."
One of the best decisions I made last year was to realize that I didn't have to say everything that came to mind quickly. A little fore thought has proven prudent in this area. Especially in conversing with, or answering, the Love of my Life, then anyone else that I break conversation with.
Thoughtful communications are the product of restraint and respect, and is the undeclared witness that we need not prevail in every subject noted.
Wisdom teaches that "as much as we claim for ourselves" others have the same right to opinion. In this case silence can be the glue that holds a friendship together tighter than making a point or arguing a point. In the long run Love covers a multitude of disagreements.
I would rather be that "friend" who is haply embraced aside from our differences, then the friend that is tolerated because of our differences.
Well the clock is ticking to set some of the foot work for the start of the year.
Think about that.
Life is good,
Love is better,
Life with Love is best!
Love
