‘Tis the gift to be simple, ’tis the gift to be free
‘Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
‘Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain’d,
To bow and to bend we shan’t be asham’d,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come ’round right.
~Joseph Brackett
This week started off rocky, but things started getting a lot better. I had a heart to heart with someone I love dearly. She spoke to me about my attitude and while I being the teenager I am, did not notice my attitude, it was still there. I cried, yes. I don’t like to cry, but I really needed to. I had so much built up emotions and feelings. She just sat and listened to me and made me feel better. I’m really glad she told me to change my attitude because after our talk/my cry fest, my week started to get better. You see, I am a very blessed young lady. At the age of 17, I have a paid internship with an interior design firm in Florida for the ENTIRE summer! Now, I don’t know about you, but not many seventeen year old girls get that opportunity as easily as I did. The experiences I am taking home with me are unlike most. I have my first job. I get my first pay check today… things are looking up. Even with the loss of my great aunt, I still have been positive with my attitude because she is now in Heaven. Time is all we have and it’s time we make the most of what’s left!
Time is a virtue, time is of the essence… potato, potahto…
Life is about living and if you are stuck with a big ego or you think you’re better than everyone, you may need to get knocked off your high horse and begin again! Its about time, patience, attitude, and finding out how you function. Stop letting the worries of life overwhelm you because without the stresses, you can live life. I do realize that life has stress and people do worry, but it’s about how yo handle them. It’s about being positive. You can achieve so much more with positivity. I’m so thankful for time. Time allowed me to “fix my glitch”, and my week became one I will forever remember.
It’s the simple things in life. Wrap those memories up, tie them with a bow, and you now have a simple gift. That gift can mean so much. Share it with a friend or a family member, or just keep it for yourself. Whatever you choose to do with your time and your gifts, make sure you live. Make sure you love. Believe in yourself so others can believe in you, too.
It’s a gift to be simple, it’s a gift to be free, it’s a gift to live the way you want to be…
