The only power our past has over us, is the power we give it. We are not our past, we are our present. There is no law requiring us to continue doing what we’ve done in the past. If it didn’t work, we can change it. It’s within our power. What we are becoming unfolds with each of our daily decisions.

Today’s Good Word ~ Ears
Our ears are a wonderful gift. We hear the sounds of our world through our ears. We hear birds singing. We hear the wind blowing through the trees. We hear waves crashing on the seashore. We hear someone tell us us, ‘I love you.’ We hear the roar of a crowd when our team wins. We hear the stories of an aging parent. We hear the last words of a loved one dying. Our ears are a special gift.

Something to Think About
Living is a frightening experience at times. When things don’t our way, we may enter into a period of self denial and create a fictitious account of reality. People addicted to alcohol will deny they don’t have a drinking problem and adamantly claim they can handle their drinking. Nothing can shake them from this illusion until they hit rock bottom or worse. It takes courage to face the truth about a situation. We create illusions when we can’t accept reality. One has to admit he/she is wrong and desires to let go of their false illusions.

Something to Think About
The days are growing shorter in the northern hemisphere. The sun is setting more than an hour earlier than it did on the first day of summer in south Texas. In my morning sky I can now see the constellation Orion. Its belt is a familiar sight. There is a rhythm to Earth’s journey around the sun. When we discover the inherent rhythm in our lives and flow with it, we develop a sense of inner peace knowing there is a place and time for everything. Find your rhythm and enter the flow.
Today’s Good Word ~ Understand
Have you ever felt frustrated when people don’t understand you? I have. We can try to use logic, different ways of making our meaning known, but to no avail. We are not understood. What do we do when we’re not understood? If what we have to say is important, then it is important that we continue to speak it. Where our message goes it will fall on some who understand, probably a lot more who don’t understand, and some who refuse to try to understand. Don’t be discouraged, continue to speak what your heart urges you to speak. The right people will understand.
