Morning Musing

She lived and loved in a way that the world’s is better for her having been in it. As I sit drinking my coffee this morning on the cozy reading chair snuggled with my cat butterscotch the cool crisp fall air coming through the open window past my other cat Archie, this, I thought is what I want people to say about me when I am gone. At the end of this journey we call life, I want the positives in my life to outweigh the negatives. I want to leave the world a little better than I found it.

How does one do that I begin to contemplate. Well one must believe it can be done. Surely that is the start. Then one must choose to do it. But how. What are the things that I can do that leave the world better both big and small. Okay. I have them. Then I choose to do those things as often as I can. Every time I am given a chose I pick the one that leaves the world better. Sounds simple enough, I think.

Although, I know that it will not be as simple as it seems it will. I know there are times I will choose the easy or the quick because I am tired or world worn. But as long as I keep trying to make better choices and do so more often than not am, I not accomplishing my goals? I’m I not adding more to the positives column. So I make a chose to believe in an ideal and strive to make the choses one at time that will add positives. To not lose hope if I add to the negative but to redouble my efforts and strive to make the next choice a better one.

Who am I? I am a good girl and a wild child all rolled into one. I am a little bit of everyone whose life has touched mine. I have held and hold many roles and titles. I am educated by both life and by halls of advanced education. I am a dreamer of far-flung dreams and a practical person with a firm grasp on reality. I am a human with an abundance of love, curiosity, and hunger.  Above all else I am a helper of my fellow humans who hopes when she leaves this world it is a little better for her having been in it.
