Things To Think About

I see beauty all around me 
everywhere that I turn,just to 
behold my surroundings is my only 
concern,to live life to the fullest as is 
my intent,to be happy with myself is 
what keeps me content,my time is 
spent pondering amazed at the 
sights that I behold with my eyes,so  
the adventures I encounter I am not 
so surprised,in this life that I lead 
the obstacles are many,though I 
don't have a lot but yet I have 
plenty,so yes I am blessed to be 
breathing and well ,roaming free in 
this world and not locked in a cell,for 
it could always be worse I keep 
telling myself,so in conclusion to 
being at one with myself

a great way to say it is by far to live in the present which is on the same page with God. Have been in the process of learning that lesson for about 50 years. Orlandus
