Hey Newbies......what if......?

[Soberjulie]

what if

 

you are exactly where you're supposed to be today.

 

what if you're not supposed to be one single solitary molecule better, nor one bit faster, not one jot farther along.

what if you're not supposed to be

any smarter, or more spiritually evolved,

better with money,

braver,

bigger or smaller.

what if

(just for today)

you let being smoke free be the win.

let that be enough.

take the day off from self judgment,

from comparing yourself to others

and to the mythical stealth "ideal you" that you've somehow been sold (that you've somehow bought).

what if just for today you banish the "should's" and "supposed to's."

if there is a God

(and while sometimes there's doubt and some days the evidence seems to go either way what if today you sit with "there is")

then what if

your foibles and mishaps and shortcomings

are part of what you need

to be what you're supposed to be

eventually.

if this isn't treacle,

or smarmy pap,

then you can relax,

and have faith that

(as the old expression goes)

God don't make junk

and there is a Plan

and you really are

exactly where you're supposed to be

today.

I can see your heart...
