Time

Time is an amazing thing. When you are a kid days seem to never end. As an adult is feels like they race by at a speed that is beyond comprehension. We fill our days with so many different things to do and so many different places to be that it is a challenge to get them all done and a miracle if they are all done on time. I am a professional over scheduler. I try to cram as many things into the day as I can, knowing that I will not get them all done. We have heard the talk of prioritizing. I believe in prioritizing, however for me it is a list of what is the urgent and what is not going to get done. That is the reality of my life. That is also the reason my blog is not updated as often as I would like it to be. Remember I warned you in my disclaimer!

I realize that I am not alone in the system of time management and prioritization. I think most modern day adults are. However I would rather have that issue than any other, as long as they are positive reasons that my day is packed. I am surrounded by lights that have family members who are dealing with health issues. They spend their appointment packed day at doctors' offices, treatments, and pharmacies. Trying to manage their health as well as their family, job and finances and keep their sanity all at the same time. I pray for these lights and their families all the time. It does not seem right that so many families are dealing with so many health issues. I know as you get older, you are prone to know more lights who are having health related issues. It just feels wrong that so many lights are having these issues. It brings up the power of faith, prayer and the most important light of all.

I believe that you need to have faith to survive. I think the saying goes "God won't bring you up to something that he doesn't think you can get through. You just have to have faith in him and you will get through." It takes time to get through these things. When you are going through a health related issue it seems like time moves at the same pace it did when you were a child. The difference is that when you were a kid you could sleep at night. Night time seems to be scarier when you are an adult going through a health related issue. That is the time when your mind is free to think about all the possibilities of what could happen, when the light is gone. As a child if you had a bad dream you could go wake your parent for reassurance and comfort. Now you are the parent who needs the reassurance and comfort. I pray for people to find the light in the night when they need the reassurance the most. I pray for them to have the patience that will allow time to heal their wounds and make them whole again. I pray that during this struggle their faith will be stronger and they will have found peace and the brightest light of all. I pray that these lights will return to good health. With time I know they will.

Disclaimers

Before we get too far into this, there are some things you should know:

I write like I talk! I use technology to save me as much as it can, however even it can't keep me error free. (At work I have a wonderful bright, white light who proof reads all my work.)

I am a real person. This is not a computer generated thing that is trying to extract something from someone.

I try to be tactful, genuine and sincere about what I say. I don't know how to be any other way.

I have a tendency to put others first and over schedule my days. Therefore, I may not be able to write a new blog every day.

I may say things that others do not agree with. I believe each person has a right to their thoughts and opinions. I also believe that they have the right to express those thoughts and opinions. However they need to do it in a respectful way. I think a lot of people have forgotten that you can respectfully disagree with other people. It does not mean that you dislike them if you disagree with them. You just have different ideals.

Sometimes I ramble. I like to tell stories to get my point across.

I know that all these things make me sound like I am 60+ years old, I am not.

I am not an astrological scientist who follows all the lights of heaven and earth. I am just a person who tries to see the light inside all other people.

I am an optimist. If you are looking for something to read that is depressing, I suggest any major newspaper, television station or web site.

I don't get to work interruption free. I won't get to finish my thought on the first try. So I will try to condense things down, which sometimes causes issues with getting the true meaning across. If you are not sure what I meant, ask.

My point in you seeing my disclaimers list is that you will realize that I am just another person, who has a light. I am not a Hollywood celebrity, famous singer, talented athlete, politician, or corrupt business person. You would not recognize me on the street, and if you met me, you probably would not remember my name. However I have a light and that is what makes me special. I am surrounded by people who have lights, and they are special. Every person I have ever met has a light, and they are special. We are all children on God and that makes us all special.

Living with lights

What does that mean, "Living with lights"? In my view all people have a light. They each have their own personal glow. Young, old, big or small all people have a light. Each person's light has a glow and a color. The brightness and colors may change as they go through their life, just as my color and brightness changes as I go through my life. When peole pass away from us, their color and brightness stays with the ones who were touched in any way by that person. The stronger the connection the more of that person's color and brightness we keep. It is added to our own personal light. I also believe in the ultimate light of God. That is the light I am striving to be in the glow of when it is my time.
