Forgiveness
When one makes a promise to oneself, and doesn’t follow through, does it really matter? Take a step back, evaluate, put things into perspective... My promise to myself is to document through a gratitude journal, my daily thoughts and reflections on all that I have to be grateful for. So I write… of significant moments, and others that are quite ordinary at first glance.
And today I forgive myself for not documenting my gratitude these past couple of days, and vow to turn in my self-assignment today. One may ask why? Why not just pick up with today and move on? And my question would be, is not every day that has been given to us a gift worth remembering, and further more – sharing?
Our seats were toward the back, and we were content just to be there – to hear his music that was the backdrop for much of our younger days. For part of the beauty of music is that it permeates the atmosphere regardless of where one sits in life.
And then the call came in… an opportunity to sit right up front, just a couple of rows back from the stage. From here, one can see everything, not just what they put on the big screen, what ‘they’ (you know, the proverbial they ) want you to see.
So it is with gratitude that I sit in the front row of my life, cherishing the ability to choose what to focus on, and I jot notes of gratitude so as to not let a single moment slip away like a raindrop off of a leaf onto the ground. And as I pause for one more moment, I think of words myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Popesaid to me what seems like just yesterday, “You should see the view from up here.”
