the saving grace of a new day

it's a new day, the sun is shining it's fall and it's beautiful.  as i took my dog max out to go to the bathroom i realized that each new day brings a fresh start.  if we want it too...

with this start it's our choice to either make it good or bad??  things happen to us.  we don't always have control, but it's how we deal with them that makes the day.  lately i have found myself making my days bad.  

my outlook is a little bleak, my roommate lost her job a few months ago and we are going down hill.  it seems as if we may not have a place to live in a few months if this goes on much longer, but thru it all i have been the voice of reason to her and her teenager daughter.  each time she gets down, i tell her, "hang in there, it will be ok."  "don't give up, be positive."  

goodness i have been looking at her and trying to uplift her and yet my own inner workings have been on delay...  i know that sounds funny, but inside my head are a million things.  it seems that my brain never sleeps.  

so as i'm standing outside this morning, the wind is blowing and it's one of those mornings where i know that god is still there...  most people don't like the fall, because of the rain, the cold, the leaves falling, but i have never looked at it that way.  to me it's a time of change.  it's a time when you can leave behind the hurts of the summer.  be washed clean by the cool rain and like the leaves, drop off all the things that hold you back.  move forward into the next season fresh and clean.  winter can come and you can renew so by spring you are ready to become something you weren't before.  

think of it this way, it's a time to leave behind what's been weighing you down, and let the cold winter blow thru you and refresh you.  allow it to heal you in your time alone...  then when the spring comes you are new and better than before.  i know this may sound crazy and i myself have had times where this doesn't work, but i want a different spring...  i want more...  

i realize i'm the maker of my destiny...  i need to allow god to fulfill all the promises he has made to me, to let him pull away my "leaves" of hurt, to change and become.  

so as you walk thru your fall days, think of the beauty and the ability to realize that the new day is a saving grace.  you made to another one, your breathing and you able to move in your world.  affect someones life, just by being you??

thank you god for the fall and the saving grace of a new day...
