Perspective

The alarm went off this morning and I hurried out of bed to turn it off. I stood in the dark for a minute to get my 'bearings' about me. I went into the bathroom and as I turned on the light, the fuzziness that your eyes go through after having just awakened was funny feeling. I stood there momentarily and allowed my eyes to adjust and focus on the task at hand of getting ready for the day.
Life has its focusing moments and some of those moments are easier than others. I believe that there are things that help us stay focused so that there isn't as much adjusting that needs to happen. Let's talk about those things for a minute.
I firmly believe that if things are good and well as far as your relationships with your family go life's focus is easier and more manageable. When those things are not anchored life's challenges seem like the Himalayas.
A clean mind and a clear conscience are imperative. Life is full of various activities--running here and there. The hectic pace is sometimes unbearable. What is put in our minds is important. I would suggest that each of us watch, read, and speak uplifting material. I'm not even talking pornographic material. I'm trying to keep the trash and filth, that surrounds me, out of my life. There are enough tough things to deal with, without the filth that is all around us.
The opportunity to help someone else is uplifting. It builds up the spirit. It gives strength to overcome.
The focus on life keeps a solid perspective on the things that are the most important.
Just keep plugging along. There are blessings, in abundance, around every corner.
