Darn it! I meant to post this Wednesday, got side tracked with other stuff and distracted by an adorable 8 year old. So I'm a little late, but then again I usually am LOL. Better late than never...
So this week Jamie asked: "What or whom do you wish to make peace with?"
Since I am late posting, I've had a little time to ponder this. And I did/do have a list of people and things, but as I thought and think more about it I've realized something. I can't come to peace with outside people or things until I first come to peace with myself. So therefore, I that is what I wish...to make peace with myself.
To learn to accept and love myself for who and what I am. To learn to accept love and generosity from others...that it's okay to accept these things. To accept that I'm no Picasso or Van Gogh and be at peace with what ever I create and paint. To accept that I am no J.K. Rowling but that it doesn't mean I can't write something and that it might be good, but I should at least try.
So yes I need to make peace with myself and accept who and what I am and I need to stop thinking that I need to conform to the world's idea of what or who I should be.

ReplyDeleteTHIS really speaks to me. Thank you.
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.
If only the very very best were allowed to express themselves the world would be a silent, dreary space.
