Introspection


According to Mr. Webster, introspection is contemplation of one's own thoughts, feelings or motives; self-examination. I couldn't have said it better myself.....the past couple of weeks of my Pineapple Upside Down Cake life have been just that: self-examination.

I'm not sure how many of you follow astrology (no, not your daily horoscope in the newspaper) , or Spiritualism, but with time on my hands I've begun to go inside myself and figure out why I am the person I am, what kind of person I am and what kind of person I present to the world. I had often heard that before we are born, we make a contract with the Universe to accomplish certain goals, learn lessons and complete karma. And during this time I have come to discover certain things about myself: our thoughts do create our reality, we can manifest everything and anything we desire and we do this by practicing PATIENCE! This is without a doubt the most difficult accomplishment that God has created. I have learned that the world does not revolve around me (although I really wanted it to); I am part of the make up of this wonderful world.

I have also learned that forgiveness ranks right up there with love......forgiveness is such an easy thing to do. However, according to the Daily Kabbalah: dirty dishes can be difficult, but they're even worse if you let them sit for a while. The longer they sit, the harder they are to clean. This is life. Any mistakes, transgressions or negative actions you take are much easier to make right if done immediately.

So to all my wonderful friends, family and those who feel they are my enemies, please forgive me for any wrong I have done to you. I have already forgiven you for what you have done to me, even if you were unaware of the hurt you caused.

Change can be a good thing, but acceptance of each person as they are is an even better thing. A really good friend once told me that a man marries a woman hoping she'll never change and a woman marries a man hoping that he will change.

So I'll end on a positive note: you accept me/I accept you and we all live happily ever after!
