Growing

We all perform on two stages: one public, one private. The Public stage is what we do and say. The Private stage is what we think and what we rehearse in our minds to do on the Public stage. Even though we may never perform it, what we rehearse in our minds helps mold our character and guide our actions.

Are we rehearsing anger, fights, and what we're going to tell that SOB next time? Are we rehearsing addictive behaviours, the old ways of living? If so, we are risking the serenity we have achieved.

To keep growing and to keep building character, we need to rehearse kindness, patience, and love. We need to practice awareness of our Higher Power in our lives.

Am I growing?

Five months into the new year for me and over all I would say it's going well. This year thus far has been pretty low key for me and thats what I need. My focus is on myself where it belongs. Work is steady, but my sleeping patterns are goofy and never did seem to straighten out. Lots going on at the homestead but nothing I can't let go of each day.

Right now I am planning a trip to London for next next summer. Now anything could change but I miss London, high tea and I'm thinking Covent Garden area.
