MY PEACE & JOY RESOLUTIONS FOR 2020
Yesterday, I checked the “map” of downloads for my podcast which compliments this blog —I mean it doesn’t flirt or anything and the podcast doesn’t ask if it looks fat in this dress—so they are.related and. Add to each other some. Anyway there have been downloads from 10 countries for the podcast and so that says to me...people are seeking peace and joy in many countries and within. Many cultures. We live in a complicated and changing world, so that makes sense and prompted me to share these resolutions I’ve adopted and that are related to peace and joy. Do I have other resolutions—only one—quit picking dead skin off my feet—okay TMI but I’m putting it out there because if you are going to take the rest of this semi-seriously, I had to get to the nitty gritty. Too.
Okay back to the P&J ...
These are not in any particular order—I always like when someone says that and then puts things in a list one after another. Those things are in a particular order just not in an order of fun or importance’s or likelihood to happen... but you can’t put something down without it being in some particular order ...so quit using that phrase okay:
Resolution 1. Stay focused on real world experiences and let them simmer until they smuggest the path to peae and joy that can be reached by. Understanding or reframing these experiences. In short, keep learning the lessons that the soul is crying out to learn. To guide me toward this I plan on spending 20 minutes at the “end of the day” in solid reflections and bypassing numbing analysis that I sometimes fall into during exzperiences and that distract me from the experiencing part. In short, I want to avoid. Paralysis by analysis.
P&J Resolution 2. Remain flexible, and yet develop some identifiable. Routines. I have routines and some patterned behaviors., However, from time to time—quite often—I let the clock dictate what I’m doing more than a routine that might lead to more peace and joy. For example, if I wake up after. 7 AM I am far less likely to meditate,exchange the garbage, do the dishes etc... If I let the feeling I get by doing these things dictate my behaviors the clock wouldn’t matter as much I’m thinking so I am committed to logging some experiences and. Learn why they don’t or do execute tasks.
P&J Resolution 3. This is a contribution resolution. I am going to. Contact my old. High school and. Offer to mentor and lead the rebirth of our school newspaper. Working on it was a great experience for me and I think it was for others. I know it will have to be an “on-line” version and it takes time to develop a staff and a routine, but I think every school should have this as a tool to tell their story and. In the voices of it’s. Students for the most part. I think a few of my. Fellow classmates would help and some from other. Classes would probably join in along with many of today’s students. Sure am I making this resolution because I want to connect with my. Old classmates and school? Well of course. However, I have learned a thing about writing and telling mission based stories over my career and feel it is important to pass these lessons along.
Okay do I want to change my body some in the next year—yep..but I have to change my body attitude a little more first... and that means. The resolution won’t come for a month or two —after my annual physical—a proctology exam has a way of providing motivation from time to time.
So that wraps it up for today except for this sentiment that is pounded out in two quotes..
In resolving. To do things.. I will not die with my best song still. In me.....and I’ll die with memories not with dreams.
More. Tomorrow....3
