Dear God,I realize you could end my lifeline anytime. I realize it doesn’t matter what I think or do, even if I’m doing good, you could still put my lights out and send me back to you.And now that I’ve accepted this, I just wanna say, I’m finally OK with that reality and it’s changed my perspective on a lot of things...And because of my new perspective, now I don’t care how long I live.Take me tomorrow, take me next year, take me in 40 years...Or don’t take at all. It doesn’t matter to me, because it’s not something I can control.But what I can control is how I live while I’m still here. And more than anything I just wanna live with ease, ya know?I wanna feel at peace.More love.More joy.So I’m gonna show up every day, and invest in my health through the daily practice of self-mastery.I’m gonna be disciplined in my keeping my emotions in high and thriving frequency. I’m not gonna sweat the small stuff, like the who’s and the what's, and the where’s and the how’s...Instead, I have complete faith and trust in the divine plan.The plan that outlines all my dreams and how glorious life can be. And now I believe that I am worthy and so all those things will be delivered onto me. And I'm so grateful for all the blessings given to me....I’m grateful for the small things like nice feeling sheets and the daily epiphanies.I’m grateful for the food on my plate, clean water to drink and a comfortable place to sleep. And I’m grateful for all the times that took me down and how that taught me what I don’t want, so now I know how to embrace all the stuff the gets me stuck, and I know how I'm gonna rise above.And I just think that this is what life is really all about, ya know?It’s not about how much time we have here. It’s not about living forever...Especially if you're not really living.So life is really about the lessons we’re here to learn and the stories we’re destined to tell, and more than anything, I just wanna tell a really good story about what it was like to really be mySelf. So that's what I'm gonna do, while I still can. So thanks, God...For giving me a second chance. Get all the Art Stories at ArtistSarahLong.com and to buy her alcohol ink art paintings, go toArtistSarahLongStore.com.
