I have a fortune cookie message that urges me to remember that life is about the journey not the destination. I often receive fortune cookies that relate to something that I am struggling with. I am not going to be cynical and believe that they are not just for me. Anyways, I received this message about the journey versus the destination and recognized immediately that this is a problem for me. I am a goal driven person, it is always about the end game- accomplishments, completed projects, etc. This is one of the reasons that I am not crafty, do not do home improvement projects, and do not torture myself with lengthy recipes. As a Christian I can often focus on the destination too much. In doing so, I realize that I miss life at times. I miss building the loving relationships and serving Christ in my day to day situations. Savoring the experience. That is what I am trying to say. Savoring the experience of life. How can I be more savory? I can practice mindfulness activities, more meditation and prayer, gratitude. I will continue to search for more ideas.
Today I am grateful for: competent and caring medical staff, a patient husband to love and care for me when I am not being a good patient, and the opportunity for George to go to school and work.
