Today I am going to think about the things outside of me that are gradually affecting my life.
This is part of Wally and Theodore's tree house that Ward built years ago. As you can see, the tree is slowly growing around one of the supports and has pushed a floor board up. I need to think about whether or not I have a "tree" slowly changing me. Am I letting outside forces determine where I'm going and where I'm going to end up? I'm not sure, but I do know if I don't think about it, they very well might.
This really is a thoughtful reminder to me too.
ReplyDeleteAlways something to think about.
DeleteMost things that change and affect us seem to come from outside ourselves.
ReplyDeleteToday we are getting rain which gives me a day to take things slower for a bit.
I agree. Adapting to what life throws at us is one the biggest areas for growth we can have. However, there are other things that can determine our destiny if we are complacent. You made your change to minimalist living. You thought about what you wanted and made it happen. THat's what I want to do. If I stay on the path I'm on now, I want to make sure that it is the path I want. If not, I don't want to stay there because just because it is easy.
