As I bid goodbye to the year that was, and look towards the year that will be, I promise myself that whatever storms I’m caught in, the ultimate goal will be getting back to peace of mind.
It might be a real doozy of a storm where my trusty umbrella ends up getting destroyed, and I find myself getting drenched, getting angry or frustrated because despite preparing as best as I could by carrying around that umbrella, things just didn’t pan out as I’d hoped.
But.
Despite the fact that, with every passing second, I’m getting more and more soaked, there is a part of me that wants to get dry as soon as possible. I can guarantee that desire undoubtedly resides in the back (if not in the forefront) of my mind.
So, this New Year, when I find myself caught in a storm, I make a promise to myself to remember that my ultimate goal is to get back to peace. If I can get “there” sooner than later, then, “Fantastic!” But some storms are something fierce so it just might take me awhile. And that’s okay. I’ll deal with the storm in the best way that I can, and look forward to eventually getting out of those wet clothes.
Happy New Year, Folks. Good luck on the inner and outer plains <3 See you on the playing fields of 2015.
