Hello All,
October is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my favorite time of the year. The crisp air. The changing of the colors, and of course my birthday. My birthday is coming up in about 2 1/2 weeks and it is a special one. I will be turning the big 4-0. Most people have qualms about getting older and I am one of those people. However, I look at getting older as a blessing. Hopefully you have learned the lessons and you are able to move on. I look back on my life and there are some things that I could have done differently; or I lament over not being where I want to be. As I really look beyond that, I am exactly where I need to be at the moment. I am a work in progress. Society pressures us on what makes us successful. Success is measured on who you know, what you know, what you have, and where you live. I am reading a book called The 7 Laws of Success by Herbert W. Armstrong. What I have read thus far; true success is not measured by those things. Many perceived successful and famous people have died and what they accomplished have died with them. The book teaches that materialism (anything you put above the Most High and His Purpose) is fleeting. It will never make you truly happy. To most, when you accomplish those things, it is never enough and more is almost wanted. I think learning to be content no matter what your situation and circumstances are is the hard part.
I have been on a crusade to purge my closet. My closet is where it needs to be. I can actually look in my closet and see what I have. I shop my closet. I have come to the point that I don't need more to be happy. My husband has congratulated me on my closet's chic new makeover. My soon to be 40 year old self is not afraid of buying things full price that I really want and fits me perfectly; my soon to be 40 year old self will bypass buying things on sale just because they are on sale; my soon to be 40 year old self will continue to grow and not look back on past mistakes and regrets; and my soon to be 40 year old self will continue to seek a piece of mind along with wisdom and understanding.
