LOVE is the answer


Last night, the third debate between Senator Obama and Senator McCain had an unexpected energizing effect on me. The words of Senator Obama, the confidence he expoused to the American people, made me think and moreso, see that confidence is a large part of being able to move forward in uncertain times.
You do need to rally people around you who are of like mind, and with cold, hard facts and a bit of creative thinking and determination, you can actually see your way.
This morning, my plans have more certainty for me. I have marked 2012 as the date for me to have the home that I want. That date has actually helped me to feel an optimism that was not there before. I can now plan with much more certainty. I can get a sense of what it would cost, icluding the fact that I also need a car. A number of things have actually now alighned themselves in a way that i do not feel anxious about them. In the past I would have started putting down in my mind a number of possible road blocks on my way to my goal. But now, I can think about my plans without sabotaging them.
Lately I find that I have been looking more analytically at the challenges that come to me, from the standpoint of "what is the blessing here?" How can this moment that appears negative be actually beneficial for me?
Doing that helps put many things into a better perspective and reminds me not to take life too seriously. There is so much more to be thankful for than not, that it would be extremely stupid to spend my life wishing I could have done better, when better is a day to day process.
I feel alot of love.
