“There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I’m going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts.”
It might seem silly to find little quotes of wisdom from a book about someone else's journey through finding herself as well as the balance between life & God but there are pieces of this book that just make sense. There are many times I wish I could take back things I've said or done, but in the end that is not possible. Choosing though, to pay more attention to the things I can control makes me feel a little better.
Vacation was amazing, it was much needed and I feel rested and refreshed. Life is good.
