Forty Love Nana

I am striving to get rid of the excessive amount of “stuff” I have collected and pray that someone out there will find something to be their treasure.  I am listening to a healing CD for Breast Cancer survivors and their families called “More Beautiful.”  The CD is composed by Music for the Soul, a non-profit organization.  The Mission Statement for Music for the Soul states:  Changing lives through the healing power of songs and spoken words that resonate with human experience adn reflect the redemptive love of Jesus.  Sometimes I think there are many events in my life that have passed for which I have never mourned.  Perchance the removal of excessive stuff from my home will inspire removal of excessive stuff from my heart and soul.  It seems the surge of such is like the high tide and low tide of the sea.  Interchanging with the goodness and blessings of the high tide comes the revelation left at low tide fo the good and bad swept to the surface, resting on the sandy beach of my heart.  Sometimes the sparkle is just trash in disguise, other times what appears to be trash is a wonderful discovery that reminds me not to be too judgemental about outward appearances.  I have to remind myself that disguise is so real in most everyone’s life and that what we actually see of  a person is seldom who they are.  Mardi gras is approaching which makes me think of the many masks most everyone wears.  Daily they may change, even hourly, depending on who is in the room or on the phone, who we do not want to disappoint or whose approval we may seek.  Random thoughts collected on a page, released from within hopefully will inspire not depress any whose eyes may fall upon them.
