WHO? WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? WHY?

The last several days, I have been pondering on what it is I needed to say here.  I have come up with a lot of different topics, but I will try to pull it together here.

First,  I wanted to write about "Being Me"; me with two of my main traits of being passionate and being honest.  Many would say too passionate and too honest.  But these are what make me "me".  When I feel anything, I feel it deeply.  If you ask my opinion or advice, you will get my honest opinion, not just what you want to hear.  There has been both judgement and appreciation for my intensity and for my truthfulness.  Often misunderstood, I have done my best to remain true to who God made me to be.

Second, I wanted to talk about being a Spiritual Being having a Human Experience.  Quite frankly, the human side can often be difficult with heartaches, sickness, tragedies,  and just the world in general.  I would call it "sucky" at times.  I would call it downright confusing when things happen that you can possibly understand with human rationality.  Something like a four month old getting brain cancer!  Impossible!  But the spiritual side, is a different story.  It is the divine and the sublime. It is the direct connection with one's maker that through all of the confounding, challenging parts of life, gives you strength and peace to carry you through the tough times.  It also moves you forward in your journey towards the Creator!  It gives you the courage you need to step out in faith and challenge yourself to step out of your box to further the Kingdom of God.

Third, when does one become "old".  I used to think that 40 was old.  Now I'm 60, so what does that make me.  As I get older and more mature, I hope, I realize that you may age physically, but inside you are still the same person.  It is just the container that gets dented and rusty.  The you inside changes and matures, but it doesn't "age".  You are who you are regardless of the numbers of years you have lived.

Just found out that I'm have hypothyroidism.  One of the systems, inability to focus.  No wonder I have had such a hard time writing.  I hope to do a better job in the days to come.
