Taking Charge

Every now and then I can begin to think my life is in an unending rut, filled with drama and conflict.  I can be tempted to freeze and become paralyzed out of fear and frustration.  It can feel as though I am an expendable crewman in my own mini-drama.

Today, I choose to remember that this moment holds out promise; an opportunity to listen to new ideas, a chance to try out different things, an option for connection and a prospect for reassurance and self-care.  There are just so many choices that are possible.  I will remember that no one can take me down a road I don’t choose to go.  Even if I find myself in a difficult situation, I still get to decide what my response to it will be.  I choose to be the main player in the story of my day.
