i am what you read

I am working hard to better myself every moment of every day. Even while I’m sleeping. My prayers are all encompassing. I pray for everyone, even those I don’t know. I pray for a better world, a better people, less judgment, less harshness, less wars, less violence, and less illness. I pray for patience, understanding and tolerance.

Numerous times every day I tell the devil to leave me alone. Stay out of my thoughts. Stay out of my dreams. Because God has me and not him.

I’m trying to be more positive than negative because there’s so much negative in our world that I don’t need to add to it. I’m trying to do more of the right things than the wrong things. I’m trying to watch my words and my actions.

I’ve always tried to live by the Golden Rule, however looking back, I broke that rule numerous times throughout my lifetime. I know I can’t be perfect because I wasn’t made to be perfect. However, I was made to be better and to learn from my mistakes and those of others and try not to repeat them. To learn from my mistakes, I had to notice and admit that I did make them. While they were my choices at the time, I knew that I could do better.

I am older, a little wiser, but I am still me. And as I’ve always said, I am what you see. Because all of my mistakes have made me better. Once I admitted my failures, only then could I truly make the changes in my life that I needed to make and still need to make. Each and every moment of each and every day…

I am a work in progress.
