SA 1/19 written one day late..

It was late last night when I actually laid down
to rest and realized I had not read SA...
Wow, was there a mouthful right there!
It is so self-explanatory of what exactly I am
trying to do here with myself since the New Year:
"... AND SO WE STRUGGLE FROM DAY TO DAY,
CRISIS TO CRISIS, BRUISED AND BATTERED
BY CIRCUMSTANCES WITHOUT REALIZING
THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE.
... WHAT IF YOU LEARNED HOW TO STOP
THE DRAMA AND STARTED TO TRUST
THE FLOW OF LIFE AND THE GOODNESS OF SPIRIT?
WHAT IF YOU BEGAN TO EXPECT THE BEST
FROM EVERY SITUATION? ISN'T IT POSSIBLE
THAT YOU COULD WRITE NEW CHAPTERS IN YOUR LIFE
WITH HAPPY ENDINGS? FOR MANY OF US THIS
IS SUCH A RADICAL DEPARTURE FROM THE WAY
WE HAVE BEEN BEHAVING THAT IT SEEMS UNBELIEVABLE.
YET IT IS POSSIBLE.
SUSPEND YOUR BELIEF.
TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH.
AFTER ALL, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOOSE
BUT MISERY AND LACK..."
Some days this is easier than others.
My poor HOBL, he is the one who has to hear
all my good and bad.
Yet I am proud that I really am trying hard to live
my life like this because really, isn't it my choice?
No matter what my physical body does or says to me,
do I not have full control over my mind and the way I
choose to live this life I call mines?
The power of a mind and a heart has proven to
overcome some of the worst situations possible.
