REFLECTIONS
(An Acrostic)
Reviewing the year,
Evidence of my
Feeble accomplishments becomes a
Litany of failure,
Engendered by
Comparison with others. In an About-Face, I
Toast the good. There’s always good.
I free my mind to
Override the hyperbole of failure. Instead I
Nourish my
Soul with the power of possibilities.
…be transformed by the renewing of your mind… Romans 12:2

I'm a lover of God, mother of three, grandmother of eight, and a collector of friends. I like nothing better than talking, listening, laughing and eating with that crowd. My husband, Terry, and I feel blessed to wake up each day to a magnificent view of the Arkansas River. An amazing variety of creatures, from bobcats and coyotes to deer, bunnies and nutria, along with all sorts of birds roam the natural area behind our house. We also share our home with three silly kitties. I often find a lesson in what I see both indoors and out on any given day and usually find myself writing about it. I hope you'll join me in exploring the ways God speaks to us through His creation.

My thoughts are the same as yours, especially as the rejections keep rolling in – LOL. And, I'm working on my resolutions in acrostic format for tomorrow:))

Conventional acrostic form capitalizes all the first letters so the word is more visible to readers. Good poem; good goals; a good year to you/yours.

As the wise man said, Dorothy, 'Comparison is the thief of joy!'. We all do the best we can and know that things will only get better! Wishing you a wonderful year ahead.
