A Life Well Lived

Good evening. Saturday blog. My title here has a lot written about. Just the words bring a certain amount of peace. I read that happiness is not a goal, it’s a by-product of a life well lived! Eleanor Roosevelt, a smart woman. Denny and I did not always choose happiness, we let circumstances get in the way of us! Wrong turns, not knowing where to turn. Guilt and regret. If I chose to live with those two things, I could destroy myself, quickly. When all is said and done, all you can do is forgive and forgive again. The way God forgives us. Once God forgives, He never brings it up again. It’s gone. God wants us to treat each other that way. Do not keep a list of wrongs. It can destroy you and your relationship. God does not pick and choose who to forgive or not to forgive. It’s a free will we have. So simple, not! Your heart and mind can become very dark. Especially if you think you have been wronged over and over. Everything has to be dealt with. I like to call it, cleaning out boo boos.What happens if something is not cleaned? It festers and gets infected. Once you start to clean it, it starts to heal from the inside out. When Denny passed in January, we had long covered forgiveness! Things can come back to haunt. I sent all of the other stuff away with him! I want my boo boos to stay clean. I only think of our good memories. I believe Denny had a life well lived with what he had to give. He was a giver. Ask any of the kids! Life is what we make it. We make it hard. It’s not, when God is in the center of it all. Peace like a river! Good night. God bless.❤️🤗🙏🏻🤗❤️
