So here I am in mid-life. Not much went the way I had hoped. When you're young, if things aren't going right, you keep hoping and looking to the future because the possibilities are still wide open. That's a spark that keeps you going. But now, the future is here, and that spark of youth is not so easy to come by. It becomes especially important to take one day at time. To find purpose in each new day. To look beyond myself to how I can best honor my Creator, to do something for someone else. Sometimes I have to be reminded to get back to the little things. Doing the right thing moment by moment.
