Quiet My Mind

Dear Lord,

Teach me to quiet my mind.

Stop my thoughts from racing from one thing to another.

Stop me from the obsessive thinking about the lives of others.

Help me rest and quiet my mind.

Help me let go of trying to control the lives of others.

Free my mind to be at rest.

This I pray.

I truly know that feeling Col, ... ... ... my mind races mostly about my handicap son (son's) ... my wheelchair one is up for major surgery AGAIN on his back ... means I'll be up there at his place again for a few weeks at a time this Spring and Summer ... of course that's why I 'retired' early ... (no place gives that kind of 'vacation' time) ...

I guess what I feel needs to be done around my house, mow, trim, clean, fix stuff, etc. ... really isn't so important and I need to just take things 'one day at a time' as my program has taught me to do ... ... ... it's really the only way I can keep my sanity ... else if i take that one drink, all my responsibilities then fall on someone else ... not that the world couldn't do without me, it's just that I am continually learning HOW to love and this oddly enough sends 'love' back my way ... I have a strong feeling THAT'S what this life is all about ... go figure ... ... ...

 

Love you dear and God Bless,

Pappy
