Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude
In this season of ephemeral New Years Resolutions, I am only committing myself to one in particular. Could I stand to manage my finances better, get in better shape, learn something new, etc., etc.? Sure, but none of that will matter if I don't approach this opportunity to start afresh with what's really important. Patti LaBelle encapsulates my approach to this semester with flair, and this year I will have a new attitude!
An attitude of gratitude is what I would call it if I were a cheesy motivational speaker from the 80s! Maybe I still will (sometimes corniness can't be avoided), because when I am honest with myself I am incredibly blessed. I have (relatively) good health, I am not struggling financially (even in this recession), and God continues to bring people into my life who in encourage me, challenge me, support me, and with whom I can connect in a meaningful way. There are so many more things that I could enumerate, but I'll save that for the post when I complete my 100 things I am grateful for list from the 101 in 1001 plan! Perhaps that will be my next post...
Running hot,
Running cold,
I was running into overload,
That was extreme.
I took it so high, so low, so long,
There was no where to go like a bad dream.
Somehow the wires uncrossed,
The table were turned,
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn.
....
I'm in control,
My worries are few,
'Cause I got [life] like I never knew,
ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo...
I've got a new attitude!
