Let Go and Live

Sometimes, I find it hard to let go of things that I can not control. This is a lesson that I am slowly grasping.  I have released some of my OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) traits and embraced that sometimes things get a little out of order in my home and that is fine.  Sometimes, all I can do is pray for those hurting around me because I can not change their circumstance.  I keep the Serenity Prayer close and I refuse to allow anyone to steal my joy.

My glass is "half-full" as opposed to "half-empty", and I have a positive outlook. I am truly happy and so grateful for this beautiful time in my life including the challenges. What a wonderful experience it is to be conscious and alive in every moment, and not taking anything for granted.  Our world is changing and we all are adjusting in some way to the recession, the new government policies, or some personal triumph or challenge in our life.  Some choose to bury their heads in the sand and pretend nothing is happening.  Others decide to hold their heads high, take time to enjoy all that is good and fight through their challenges looking forward to the lesson that will be learned from each.  Are you sleep-walking through life or are you awake and embracing all that life has to offer?

Vitiligo Point of View
On Saturday, I wore an off the shoulder top to display the vanilla/chocolate accents on my upper body and short-shorts to display much more of those accents on my legs.  It was HOT in Houston! It was so liberating to be rid of the layers.  I was cute, comfortable, and cool. The "body art" (Vitiligo) was on display and I loved it! The time is now to "Let Go and Live"!
