Visited and celebrated bicentennial of Morgan County where we saw people in period costumes, black smiting , candle dipping, weaving demonstrations as well as old time farm tractors, farm animals and learned the difference between llamas and alpacas. Went down to the vendors and saw all sorts of crafts. I was drawn to some live edge furniture, but I rarely impulse buy. When I got home, I kept thinking about the live edge furniture and where I could use a piece in my home. It took until mid-morning on Sunday when the light bulb went off, and I took a 20-minute trip back to the fair. At first, I didn’t see the booth and thought maybe they didn’t come back for the second day when I saw their live edge sign. They sold a the majority of their stock on Saturday, but still had a few pieces I could use. Bought a book shelf style and got it home. I wasn’t prepared at that moment to put where I wanted. Had to move everything off my desk, decide what to keep or throw away, clean the area and then put book case up on my desk and arrange things as I wanted. It took over a day and half. One small decision led to a cascade of events that initially weren’t even on my mind, but really like how it’s turned out. This 200 year anniversary reminded me how lucky I was to be born in USA and while not perfect, we have the opportunity to live our best life and pursue our desires, dreams and visions.

You have the opportunity to change your mindset. Can you look at life as a playground with swings, slides, sandboxes, climbing wall and problems, obstacles as an opportunity to play so that you can grow, improve, learn or even change. I wrote on some old papers I found while moving stuff from my desk a sentence “Peace requires complete and total forgiveness.” That reminded of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation process. I use gratitude/appreciation and forgiveness which has helped to transform my life into a calm, peaceful, joyful oasis where I don’t allow others to upset energy and vibration. Forgiveness is a gift you given yourself. Forgiveness means you love yourself more than the hurt caused by another person or circumstance. Chose forgiveness. Direct your energy to forgiveness. What does freedom mean to you? Example given of what I want freedom to do and freedom from. self published a book on Amazon Kindle called the 5 big life lessons from A Christmas Carol.
