Sniffing Around

What does my life smell like? If we were to take a whiff of my life, which response would be activated? A gag reflex? The laugh button? A sigh of relief? Or unspeakable joy?
Quite often, what our ears, eyes, and hands miss, our nose could detect. The sense of smell is also quite useful because it evokes memories. With a whiff of something, we can be thrown back into a memory of something that happened, how it happened and whether or not we liked what happened. Likewise, the sense of smell could evoke feelings. If something in our lives doesn't smell right, we will not feel right. If we don't like what you feel, it is high time that we clean up.
We may only have been concerned with the way how our life looks. We may have ignored certain things we heard or saw but we cannot ignore a smell.

Today, I will be devoted to sniffing around my life and be on the lookout for rotting things I need to discard and frangrant things I can put on display.

Do-overs

In my deepest, darkest hour, when it seems like all I have ever wanted is about to escape from my grasp forever, I hold on to these words:

As divine beings, we can really do no wrong.
We make choices. Choices have consequences.
The only way wrong gets in is when we put it on the path, when we judge ourselves and others.
Life is merciful!
Life offers us a an endless supply of do-overs.
Life always offer us the opportunity to do it over until we receive the desired results of our hearts.
This is the key to our righteousness. (right-use-ness)

I may have dwelled too much in regretting my mistakes. I may have felt as thought the things I have not done could not be done. Until today, I will seize the opportunity to do over some of the things I have akreadt done. Today I am devoted to viewing mistakes and misfortunes as do-overs!
