I missed 100!

I noticed it a few days ago. "Oh man, I've completed 99 blog entries!" I made a note to myself that 100 should be something special, meaningful and then I blinked and now I'm at 101. So, I skimmed over the posts in between reading other blogs and I glimpsed an idea. I started off exploring in several posts why I blog. I have shared my To-Do Lists, thanks to Lynn, and I've continued to share "Five Good Things" thanks to Liz, and I'm played around with Attitude of Gratitude and Sacred Life Sunday (which I never really managed to pull off and I find that quite meaningful; I want Sunday to be more than Laundry Day!) And for just a brief moment something came together for me.

What I want to think about today:
  • I want to remember today that people are always more important than things
  • I want to remember today that I trust my Creator and I believe in the process even when I can't see it
  • I will remember today that my thoughts, as much as my actions, bear fruit tomorrow
  • I will remember today that it's all good - it really is
  • I will walk in the knowing that Five Good Things are really 10,000 good things and that it is not necessary for me to name them all; but to allow them to become part of my thoughts and actions in each fluid moment

I wonder what happens to my To-Do List if I create this list first? Lately, the thought has been introduced to me that my life isn't exactly as pretty as my blog. I fail often to be the person that I am when I blog. Perhaps if I sometimes use this space to consciously remember who I want to be, and the life I wish to live, I can create a balance between who I really am and who I blog to be. My list of "things that bug me" is probably far more realistic than my lists of Five Good Things. It's not that I intend to be dishonest - and I'm not even convinced that I am. But very often, I blog as I wish to be and not so often as I really am. Today, I will look in the mirror, accept all of me and grow into the best parts of me, manifest more fully all that we are created to be. Today I will be the Creator of my life and not merely a respondant to it.

What a long, strange trip it's been. Happy Friday everyone; and fruitful, loving and exciting weekend.

Cheers! ~Lee

  2. LeeLee, I'll call you next week:

    Your post today truly hit home for me (5 good things)...

    We each must take a moment to truly appreciate ourselves and our lives...there is a reason and purpose in everything. Acceptance and faith that all will be well is the key.

  3. It's funny, I forgot to post at my 100th and ended up celebrating my 101st post.

    We are both the best and worst parts of ourselves. I think saying something, writing it, makes it a stronger part of your reality. It's clear from your writing that you are a wonderful person who lives her blessings.
