Choices and Consequences

There is so much talk about HATERS these days. Vultures ravage that which is already wounded or dead. Snipers hide and skillfully annihilate their prey, never having the guts to be face-to-face. I am not concerned about the vulture or sniper aka “the hater”. My concern is about the CHOICES I make all day, every day. I like to focus on relationships, problem solving, creating order out of chaos, creating desired results. I also focus on how I fill my time, occupy my mind, expand my heart, nurture my soul, and care for my body, process my emotions. My focus is really on CHOICES and CONSEQUENCES. From the moment I wake up, I am making choices that impact my life, my mother’s life, and the lives of many other people. These choices have consequences for me and them. I do not worry about the vultures or the snipers out there. At the end of each day, the things that concern me are the choices I make that are not authentic and reflective of my choice to be in submission to God. At the end of the day, I find myself focused on the choices I have made and how they have shown up in the actions I have taken or not taken, words that I have spoken or left unspoken,  thoughts and emotions that I have invested in and ones that I have ignored/hidden.

Life demands choices. Choices have consequences. CHOOSE WISELY

…and what I won’t do is invest energy in contemplating or commenting on “vultures’, “snipers”, “haters”.

By the way, I re-read my posts and sense a real lack of joy.  That concerns me. I’ll talk about that more in my next post. Until then be blessed, be safe, and let’s BE HAPPY!
