I'm sitting here enjoying a cup of coffee. Today I used Cinnamon Bun coffee creamer. It's real good....mmmm. So, how is life? No, really, not just today or this week.
I mean, HOW IS YOUR LIFE? Do you like the direction you are headed? Is there anything you could change to be better? A better person? A better character? A better wife and mother? A better husband and father? A better friend? A better son or daughter?
I've been thinking of my life and how I want to be the best person I can be. Believe me, I am far from my goal. But, I'm working toward the goal. At least I have a goal, you know? What is your goal?
Right now, I am working on not making brainless decisions and doing stupid things. Yes, that's right. That sums it up. I want to focus my attention on making excellent decisions for me and my family and not doing something stupid, something that I will have bad consequences for doing.
For example, I have really been trying to follow the seatbelt laws and the speed limits. In the past, this has cost me a lot of money. I've realized, I don't want to take another defensive driving course or pay another fine. These are bad consequences.
In relationships, we can have good or bad consequences, related to the way we treat others. Remember being taught, "Treat others the way you want to be treated?" Well, we need to practice that everyday. I want to practice it. In the movie, Bambi, remember Thumper saying, "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." I love that quote.
Today, I am going to practice these two things. No, this week, I'm going to put them into practice and see what happens. I'll let you know the outcome and see what kind of results I'll get. In the meantime, you can try it too and let me know your results. We just may be surprised!
Until next time, Kimberly
