Life

While watching Koolulam on You Tube I realized I have lived more than most people.  There was a verse about all my broken bones (no I don't have any) and I have lived a life...yes I have.  It may not have been the life I expected and at the time it seemed very mundane...but looking back I realize I have done more than the majority of people in the world.  No, I didn't get to travel where I wanted, I didn't get to protest when I wanted to as loudly as I wanted, I didn't get to help people who were down and out...no I didn't get to do any of these but I definitely lived!

I overcame fear that had been installed in me at a young age.  I found that I wasn't stubborn, however, I was persistent and I am proud of that.  I opened my mind and learned oh so much, and I learned I need to open it even more so I can fully take in all that is in this world and the Universe.  I found that my fear of those that are different was really stupid.  I found that the prejudice I had toward others who believed different than me, who looked different than me...it was a waste of time.  I found that a broken trust, a broken heart did not break me but made me stronger.

Am I where I want to be...hell no!  I have so much further to go.  Am I bragging?  Maybe but not to put others down, only to remind myself how far I've come and how far I have yet to go.

It definitely is a good day to live!
