So last Friday night I met a friend at a restaurant and saw the opportunity to check off something else from my LIST! Well, it wasn't as exciting as I pictured in my head. The waiter was THE most unenthusiastic host I've ever encountered!!! When my famous lines were executed with the utmost excitement, courage, and discarded fears of sounding "lame", he appeared as if he didn't even hear me. Just grabbed my menu and gloomily strolled to the bar. I was still excited. My friend and I giggled a bit, then resumed our girl talk. At that moment I realized and accepted that certain things in life will not happen the way you plan in your head, and THAT'S O.K.!!! I'm glad to be learning this so early in the journey of my list so I can abandon all my preconceived ideas about my checklist. Lesson 1.
This night was also precious to me because my friend disclosed some very sensitive health information to me. I was saddened, worried, and angry when she told me. One choice can make your life take a turn for the better or worse. And it's so important to love people, cherish the time spent, forgive quickly, and not give your body to careless things or people.
I then became so aware of how many things I take for granted, including health, especially health. I made a decision to take better care of myself because the time on earth is such a gift. Why pollute it with unhealthy choices- and I'm not just talking about food and exercise. I'm so grateful to God to be alive and I want to better show him. :-)
