GARBAGE

WHILE OUT OF MY WALK YESTERDAY I WAS THINKING ABOUT GARBAGE.

 MANY OF US ARE USING THIS TIME TO SORT THROUGH OUR STUFF AND CLEAN HOUSE.  WE’RE ORGANIZING AND GIVING AWAY AND THROWING AWAY TOO. AND IT FEELS GOOD TO DO THIS.  I ALWAYS FEEL BETTER WHEN MY LIFE IS UNCLUTTERED AND CLEAN.

AND IT’S TIRING TO DO THIS HARD WORK BUT IT’S ALSO SO REWARDING AND BECAUSE OF THE PLAGUE WE ACTUALLY HAVE MORE TIME TO DO THIS! 

BUT I FIND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ‘SPEWING’ GARBAGE.  WE CAN SIT ALL DAY IF WE LIKE WATCHING POLITICIANS AND NEWS STATIONS SPREADING LIES AND WE SOMETIMES FILL OUR MINDS WITH GARBAGE. “GARBAGE IN. GARBAGE OUT,” AS I’VE HEARD IT SAID.

I HOPE TO COME THROUGH THIS TIME FEELING GOOD ABOUT WHO I’VE BECOME BECAUSE OF IT.  I’VE ALSO HEARD IT SAID,”YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.”  (AND I HAVE EATEN SOME ‘GARBAGE’ FOODS AT THIS TIME JUST TO FEEL BETTER.HA HA)  BUT ANOTHER THING I’VE HEARD IS ,”I THINK THEREFORE I AM “.

STEVE BELL SAYS, “I LOVE THEREFORE I AM”.  AND I LOVE THAT!

 I WANT LOVE TO SHINE THROUGH THESE DARK TIMES AND I WANT TO BE A LIGHT FOR OTHERS.

I KNOW WE CAN SURVIVE THIS NEW NORMAL AND I KNOW WE CAN ADAPT TO ANYTHING…AS DIFFICULT AS IT MIGHT BE TO THINK ABOUT A WORLD THAT POSSIBLY MIGHT HAVE TO CONTINUE TO KEEP DISTANCING AND HIDING BEHIND MASKS SO WE CAN BE SAFE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. 

SO WHAT DO WE LOVE THE MOST:  THE GARBAGE THAT WE WATCH OR COLLECT OR SPEW OR THE GOODNESS THAT CAN COME FROM KINDNESS AND FAITH AND CARING? 

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE GARBAGE. BUT LET’S CHOOSE TO FILL OUR ‘VESSEL’ WITH HOPE . WE ARE WHAT WE LOVE.
