Can You Smell It

Spring is in the air. I slept with my fan on and the windows open. I woke up to that familiar smell. It was fresh and new. And the thought of waking up and not hurrying to put on a rope because your freezing. That is a wonderful feeling.

Spring~the time of rebirth and renew. The ugliness of winter has be diminished and the greens of summer are upon us. Makes many want to reevaluate everything.

Yesterday I spoke with a few patients. Isn't funny how idle chit chat is quickly turned into meaning. Tell me that God doesn't have a plan and is using people who you come in contact with to give us a message. My first patient was quick to say at 40 she questioned everything. It is normal~she said. Then one day she when she was asking why to God, she heard God say to her~why not? She never asked again!

Why not? I was floored. Just think of that for a moment. When we are asking those questions of life~put in why not. It all just seemed to make sense.

Why do we have to climb all these mountains? Why not. Why do we have to feel pain in a lost relationship? Why not. Why do we question our existence? Why not. We are no better than the next guy. We have been good, bad and ugly.

But on the flip side~Why do we deserve "them good people" in our lives? Why not. Why do we feel the good things in life? Why not. Why are we truly blessed and it shows? Why not.

It goes both ways. Once again it is all in what we focus on. I choose the positive. Many times I have to be reminder of that. I have some good people in my life that remind me of that daily. We all have choices.

What do you choose? What do you focus on? What do you want to get out of this life? Walk forward, not back!
