Dear fellow
travelers,
Just think
you have been on this path with me thru 50 Ponderings!! Now the question
is how will life be for you and me when I create my
500th? That would be at my current rate in another ten years.
I had
started Ponderings, just for a very brief time ten years ago--ten years ago there
were, to my knowledge, not too much coming over the Internet that was in the
nature of personal writings, and or inspirational writings. Of course the
Internet was not at everyone's finger tips as it is now. Now in just ten years, a blink in the eyes of the universe; I receive multitudes of
spiritual sayings, and motivational messages. But I do still write my
own, however, ten years from now---at its current rate, the number from others will have
increased exponentially!! . and its
All good.
How the times are rapidly changing: something to ponder.
The world
for me is moving at a much more rapid pace. The days fly past, then
they turn into months-- Winter becomes Summer and then Winter
again.
However, on
a slower pace, I was fortunate this week to find myself sitting at lunch
across from a beautiful young lady, who had just turned 21, my
granddaughter. She is a senior at the University. Ten years
ago she was in the sixth grade. She has been a joy to watch as she has
grown. Where will she have her life take her in the next ten
years??
My life in
the last ten years has changed dramatically. I went in directions I would
not have imagined, even twelve years ago. However, there were some very
sad periods when close friends and family members transitioned.
But
the hills arose from the valleys and I accomplished many
personal visions.
A
friend , many years ago, when I was working and I felt really stuck
and saw no hills, told me, "Never give up on your
dreams!" but I couldn't see beyond my challenges then, and now
they are just a slight memory.
Life does
change, change is the only constant. And, guess what??
sometimes, if not often, its for the good!! In the end its All Good, even if it doesnt seen so at some point. Imagine that!!
If you feel
stuck, move, imagine the unimaginable, the good for yourself, and start
and keep moving...Don't ever give up, be grateful for all things, you
never know where they may lead you.
Just imagine
where you can be ten years from now!!
What has
happened in your life in the last ten years?
Where were
you then? where are you now?
Everything
that has ever happened to you has brought you to where you are now!!
If you aren't on
top of the mountain, as my friend told me years ago
"Never give up
on your dreams", and do dream!! Dream Big--start moving and
keep on moving, even if you are on top of your mountain, there is always
something else to do, to create, we are never done.
Just Pondering on
Power of Ten
