I am in the process of putting together my Life A to Z a survivors guide to LIFE when I realize there were no essays with a Y or Z title so here is the Y. But it is true I can and will survive as I have proven for sixty six almost sixty seven years. The thing of it is I am tired of surviving I am ready to begin living again.
Gun shot, strokes, heart attacks, broken heart and relationships, lost businesses, friendships all of these and so much more I have survived when others didn't and haven't. So, why and how was it I survived?
Why, I really have no idea unless my work here isn't finished yet is what I think to be so.
How, either I was to dumb to know I couldn't or to smart not to.
Any way I have never stayed down, maybe out for a while but never stayed down. This past four years has been the longest that I have allowed my self to heal. Mostly it has been a time of tearing out the old and installing the new.
I was destroyed all the way down to and below the foundation of my being. It was as if a Bomb had gone off and it was the big one for it destroyed all but my Spirit.
The only reason it wasn't destroyed was because My Spirit and THE SPIRIT or one and the same. It was that discovery that saved me.
So, even though I was down I was finished. Destroyed in mind and body but not in Spirit.
Really what has been created cannot be completely destroyed ever.
With no foundation left and every belief I ever had destroyed I had to rebuild every thing and that included my foundation.
This time with Spirit as my architect and co builder there was no way to go wrong.
I followed Spirit and allowed it to show me the way. I am still building and still following.
I had to learn that what others think of me is none of my business that is there challenge. Mine is to keep my mind clear and on Spirit as I am thankful, grateful and appreciative.
My only job is to love as I love my self and to do unto others as I woul! d have them do unto me as I strive to show them there is a better life ahead for all of us. My job is to love and believe in them as they love and believe in me only to do it first.
I am to give so it will be given. I am to receive so that I can give. I am to be an example to all as to how to survive, overcome and then live.
So know that I love and believe in each and every one of you.
