Habits- Under Construction

Forgive me for the technical difficulties I've been experiencing this week, I'm not sure what's been going on but then that's why I'm doing this blog- so I can learn! It's been an interesting experience to say the least, my favorite quote by Alexander Graham Bell says it all~

"When one door closes another door opens;

but we so often look so long

and so regretfully upon the closed door,

that we do not see the ones which open for us."

Lately for me it's been time to close some old doors and open some new ones. I hope and pray it's been the same for you.

It's almost as been as if I were constructing new habits and deconstructing the old ones. The etymology alone of constructive anger says it all. As a person, as a soul, we have to construct our worlds. In my mind constructive anger is a lot like giving birth. When a woman (note- never a man) gives birth she feels every emotion, sometimes all at once. Having been granted this privilege twice I feel that I am somewhat of an authority on this subject.

The point is this~ we can construct our world just as surely as we can deconstruct it. Having been divorced I can speak on deconstruction as well. Death is another form of deconstructing a life. When you die all your possessions must be disposed of, do it now, don't wait for someone else to find your skeletons. I can only imagine what my children would think if they unearthed my skeletons! Which brings me to another point (off topic of course) tell your children the truth, you'll be able to sleep better at night if nothing else.

So today do something different, my favorite advice is of course turn off the TV. For me it's get off the computer, I can't quite turn it off yet though, smile. Since so much of my life is work at this point I find myself in front of this screen more than I should. But then everything has it's own season doesn't it?

My advice for today? Close some old doors and open some new ones, don't wait for life to do it for you....
