Bless Them

Bless Them

Every morning I write in my gratitude journal
and I give thanks for at least 5 things in my life
I am grateful for/
However, this morning, it dawned on me,
that I never ask for those people, places and things
to be blessed.
There are so many ways and situations,
that my life has taught me wisdom.
My wisdom has come through the good times and the bad,
my wins and my losses,
my illnesses,
that which has bought me joy
and that which has reduced me to tears.
Everything and everyone
I have met on my journey
has helped me to understand myself
and life.
I have been blessed with the opportunity
to sit at the table of the included and the excluded,
the friend and the adversary,
and with my parents and those who call me mom.
So now I begin a new habit of not only giving thanks each day,
but asking the Ultimate
to bless them
for their part in my journey.

Friends

Friends

I may not get high
with a little help from my friends,
but it is through their unconditional love
that I get by.
It is not that you do not appreciate
your friends in the good time,
but when you are going through challenging times,
sometimes a friend is what you really need.
That person who will just listen while you vent,
or be with you while you cry,
or cheer you on and remind you that
you will make it through.
Friends are those manifestations of God,
who pray with you,
offer you wisdom,
and remind you
that you are not alone in this journey.
Friends are the ones
who love you in good times and bad
and upon which you can call
as the song says,
winter spring, summer or fall.
I am grateful for the friends I have
and pray I can be that support to others.

Balance

How do you do it?
Everyone seems to think
my life is in balance,
but like everyone else
it is a dance
that I constantly work at
so I can balance my 3 jobs,
time for family and friends,
time for me
and time to spend with the Ultimate.
It is not about one or the other,
rather, how I intentionally work
to stay in balance,
or come back to it
when I allow life
to throw me out of balance.
Thinking about balance reminds
me of being on a seesaw with my best friend.
She always worked with me to ensure
neither of us was the one who was always
up or down.
Although it is not always comfortable,
or easy,
I try to make time for the relationships
which are so important,
even if it means I do not
get all my work done.
At the end of my life,
it is those I love
who will remember
I made time for them
as I strove to balance my life.
