The whipping post
Looking back on my life, I tend to get a little teary-eyed on the past events that have affected me and most are wonderful memories. But there are those that no matter how hard I try to forget, they always seem to be crisp in my memory. Recalling the past does no one any good if they dwell on all of the bad that's happened. I've learned this lesson but I still have days when I have to reteach myself.
Moving on to the present or maybe even the future gives me the most fulfillment. Aging seems to do that to a person and I have either to accept or deny anything or anyone that has helped me to grow, especially in my responses to God. I'm one of that breed that wears my heart on my sleeve and I have to constantly keep reminding myself to hush up. Everyone has problems and trials in their life and I must remember I am not so bad off. It's funny how a person can think their life is so dreadful that no one could understand. Fortunately, God keeps putting the right people within my reach to either help me through the traumas or gently make me see the light.
Present day events elate and scare me at the same time. I never ever feel alone though as my sweet guardian angel stands beside me to assure me he's there.
The future is an adventure. Sometimes making my mind wander into unreasonable thoughts of fear or uncertainty, but immediately, as I resolve to the help of God He assures me He is standing right beside me along with Mary our Holy Mother who is covering me with Her protective mantle.
So whether my thoughts sift through yesterday today or tomorrow I know it's going to be all right because my Lord is standing right by me and will never let me down.
