What’s Important in Life

I understand the longer you live, the more you understand what is important. What you may think is important about life often isn’t. I’d rather have peace of mind. As long as you keep God and the Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ first, you can’t lose.
My health has really improved. I was wearing a size 18 pant, now I am down to size 12. My exercise class really helps me move my muscles.
My hair is really healthy and it has grown a lot. I don’t put a permanent or heat on my hair and let my hairdresser do what she needs to do. I really trust Jesus Christ to let it grow.
Right now I am anemic, but I look for that to improve too.

Finding out who you really are is worth the journey. It is important to treat yourself and others with respect. Find out who God says you are. What other people say about you doesn’t matter because they don’t really know you.
Well, next year I hope I will be getting my 1 bedroom apartment. My daughters and I are far apart, but I look forward to being in her life and my grandchildren’s. Because I understand that the old way didn’t work, I am looking forward to not working so much. I hope I don’t have to work weekends. I’ll keep going to church and doing my aerobics.
But I also want to go back to school. I can’t do both due to scheduling conflicts. If I go back to school it makes things so up in the air.

So, follow your dream but make sure it is realistic. Don’t allow anyone to convince you to give it up because it is your dream. Remember, it is your life and you have to choose to how to live and how to die. Happy New Year.
