I have so many things I want to do. Clean out some of my drawers & baskets of what I call clutter, read more, make marvelous food, create on things, writing to folks, keep up with the dishes, hang out outside, exercise. That is just to name a few.

Shoulda, coulda & woulda.

Those words or their likeness are not in my vocabulary really. I am not a fan.

Sure, there are things I should have done. But, I don’t like to live like that.

The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. – Romans 7:14b-15 NLT

Human…Yes, I was created by God. However sin entered the world and so I have MS. My body is cheering it on.

I don’t write or illustrate like I did. Is still working that loss out.

I was introduced to the word “choose” by a friend and I love it.

I choose to alter, navigate & adjust how I get things done.

Funny how “choice” & “alter” are not listed in my Bible’s Dictionary/Concordance.

However, “accept” is. To receive willingly. Hmmm…I don’t think I received MS willingly.

Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. – Ecclesiastes 5:18 NLT

Two things I got from that verse, Life is short & accept what is given to you.

I am working on acceptance, it may take more time. I know my God can handle that. He wrote the book.
