unique and special...

hey guys!!
been another couple days, and i'm back. after writing about high and low, i enjoyed the time that followed, because i was braced, y'know, to be forewarned is to be forearmed.
well then, today's brief is a bit different. it's about being unique and being yourself. about doing your very best where you are, and enjoying yourself. you know, many times we compare ourselves with other people and imagine that we were unfairly treated. no,it's what you make with what you have that makes all the difference.
my husband tells about how God as the Great Painter presents each of us with His drawing. then He gives us different tools with which to make a copy of His drawing. some He gives colors, crayons, paint, tools for mosaic, collage....you name it. to make a copy of the sam Paintin of His. but our tendency is to look at another and wish we had what they have. well then, you know, grass is not greener on the other side, it's greener where it's watered. so, let's water our individual grasses.
something else. what each of us has been gifted with is needed for a certain something. just like our differet body parts serve different functions, they all are important. and so am i. i am precious, unique and necessary, therefore important. and so are you. i like to look at myself and think about my many plusses, and how unique i am. then i charge to live out my potential, comparing myself only with my ideal self and goals. that becomes a much easier, more interesting and personally inspiring life. i want to be the best i can be, and you know what? i'm gonna be it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cuz i'll keep doing this :-)
so, hey y'all out there, be blessed, and have a ball!!

oh, p/s yes, i'm married.... and the changes and adjustments are real.....but that's for another day. enjoy!!!
