Grateful for "My Journey"



I want to take a moment and say how grateful/thankful I am for the wonderful life I have been given.  All of the good I have had outweighs the bad parts and I have learned how to just deal with life and it's quirks, cricks and crannies that are presented to me at various intervals.  These are all stepping stones that I have to learn to deal with.  Once I deal with them I don't ever have to revisit them again.  If I don't deal with them... well,guess what??? They come back and I have to re-go thru that lesson all over again!  So I try real hard to deal with everything in a positive enlightening way.  It's been a HARD lesson to learn and it doesn't always come easy... every day is a new day with new experiences to experience and new life to live!  I have a friend who calls it... "Her Journey"!  So this too is "My Journey" or as I like to say "The Days of My Life". 
I see and hear so many that are trudging through their "Journey" exhausted, unhappy... they get so far down and can't or don't know how to get up!  I was there at one point in time too... but I purposed to NEVER get there again!  No matter what comes my way!  Everything that comes my way is a stepping stone... I can step over it ... only to find it resurface down the road; I can tiptoe on it ... Not learning the purpose of that stone in my life and therefore letting it make me exhausted and unhappy ... OR I can STEP on it ... deal with everything it brings my way, CRUSH it and go on in My Journey, having LEARNED what and why that stone was put there in the first place.  
Yeah I know it may be something we don't want to learn ... something we don't want to deal with ... and many find "alternative ways" (but that's a whole other blog-to come) on NOT dealing with those stones.  But hello... we do NOT live in Heaven yet!  We must "GO THRU" our Journey that has been given us to make us into that person we are meant to be. 
As most of "my friends" know I am not a Religious person!  I DO NOT LIKE RELIGION! But I do LOVE God and I do have a relationship with God!  I was raised in religion and it dominated my life as a child, and on into my adult years.  I now refuse to let Religion and Religious People interfere in My Life, My Journey, My Relationship I have with God!  As I am fond of saying ... "who died and made you God?"  This is MY Life, MY Journey, and MY Relationship with God ... NOBODY else will stand and give an account but ME>MYSELF>and I!!!!  I and I alone have to learn how to STAND on those stones that come my way and crush them.  I and I alone have to learn how to live my life and make it thru this Journey of mine ... "These Days of My Life" ...
