It's All About Attitude

     I won’t try to explain the numbskull way I created this scar on our car. I’m thankful the only injuries besides this were to my ego and my pocketbook.
     When I do dumb things like this, I realize I’m no longer getting old; I’ve gotten there. Besides that, I’ve noticed the warranty’s off on all my body parts. I’m constantly working to realign this part or that. Whichever one rattles the most gets attention at the gym or the chiropractor or the physical therapist.
     I could crash into a wall of depression with all these breakdowns. Instead, I’m beginning to understand how to travel life’s highway with my limitations.
     It’s all about attitude.
     To live joyfully above my impediments, I must:
     -Know myself completely.
     -Accept myself completely.
     -Forget myself completely.
     Knowing myself completely means acknowledging my strengths as well as my weaknesses.
     Accepting myself completely is accepting my limitations as graciously as I would those of someone else. Being kind to myself. Forgiving myself.
     Forgetting myself completely means not dwelling on my problems, but reaching out to those around me to love and serve them as I can.
     After all, what good does it do to rust in a junkyard of self pity when I have so much to thank God for?
