the birm*

an epiphany.
well, let's not get excited...let's call it a thought.
i was on the bus the other day, traveling into belfast, thinking about
life and how this used to be what i did often, when i had a a thought:
"this used to be my life, but not anymore..." but that got me
thinking. yes, this used to be my life and no, i'm no longer living
the life i used to live in this place. my LIFE is who i am NOW, in the
place i am now, doing the things i do now. BUT the aspects,
experiences, mistakes, victories and friends i had in my life before,
all contribute to who i am, what i believe, how i think or react, what
i do and how i live.
so, although LIFE is NOW, neither in the past and nor in the future, i
need to keep reflecting on the past from time to time to make sure
that i don't repeat the same mistakes and take the great positive
experiences i've had for granted. anyway, i just thought it was a good
reminder to me to reflect, assess, plan and prayerfully live life!
