Responsibility

"Each of us 
has the right 
and the responsibility 
to asses the road 
which lie ahead 
and those over which 
we have traveled, 
and if the feature road 
looms ominous or unpromising, 
and the road back 
uninviting-inviting, 
then we need to gather 
our resolve and carrying 
only the necessary baggage, 
step off that road 
into another direction. 
If the new choice is also unpalatable, 
without embarrassment, 
we must be ready to change that one as well."  ~ Maya Angelou

Change, balance, resolve, necessary, responsibility; words that
the average, ordinary, mature person faces every day without
dread or hesitation.


Sometimes the specter of change looms as a life altering possibility 
when in true perspective the change has already occurred 
and the pain we feel is in the not being able to let go.


Don't know if you are coming or going, let go and let God,
a loving Higher Power will give you the chance, 
the choice to do for yourself what is the next right thing.


Remember, if it is not good for you, it will not be good for anybody.


What we often feel as a possible harm done to others by altering 
a relationship may be in fact a blessing in disguise for them and yourself 
because boundaries and respect have been so clouded and tainted 
by mistrust and fear that what we perceive as guilt and shame 
is a past that must be forgiven.


Today, be responsible, change, move on, learn from the past 
so that the insanity does not have to be repeated, plan for the future
but understand that the most important day is today 
and doing what makes you happy is the best thing you will do for yourself,
others and your Higher Power.


Today, do the will of the Great Creator, the God of your understanding,
be kind, be loving, be patient and tolerant, be forgiving ,
be responsible,
and be the person God wants you to be, the person who will make
this world a better place for having you in it.


Happiness is unconditional love.
