For Certain Things Touch My Soul

Being inspired and inspirational is wonderful; it can be soft, gentle, fragrant, tearful, horrid, depressing, languid, energized, laughable, kind, mean spirited, conscientious, blissful, bashful, fun, loving, happy, genuine, religious, faithful, endearing, sweet, lovable, eatable, delightful, or gay; these are just a few things that we can be inspired from or find inspirational in some way. All of these can provide sermons or little vignettes to our lives. But of all the things that I can think of; I find that love is the greatest thing in the world to be inspired by, and to be inspired from. I believe that love is the most the most precious and the most beautiful thing that one can find, which is truly inspirational.

I love people, especially people that have the audacity to become your friends. You see friendship is a two way street, and what we’re doing is taking a chance on each other. I am humbled and honored to be someone’s friend, and I am humbled and honored by their friendship too, especially when they pick out a few flaws that I may have, which are meant to help me become a better person or a friend. When they do things like this, they are sharing and blessing me. We can all use an eraser in life; pencils have them, so why can’t we?

As I sit and have my black unsweetened French roast café I smile, look away at my candle burning, and think of how really fortunate I am. I have food to put on the table; I have shelter from rain, and other bad elements of life, and it is very comfortable here. I have clean clothes to wear; and though hitting sixty in two weeks; I feel good because life is wonderful and I am happy to be. I think positive, I love life and laughter. I like tea, but I love coffee. I am able to speak, talk, laugh, cry, drink, eat, sleep, see, hear, touch, feel, smell and taste, and I can also sense. God has provided me with something much deeper; one might say that this is what goes to the soul, and to the bone marrow of life. Good morning everyone!
