As we discussed in class the other day, we are all in the process of "writing" our life's story. Each day we have the chance to re-write and revise our story if we are not pleased with the way we are living it.
So I share with you the "revisions" that I have made to my story, and would love to hear the revisions that you have made, or would like to make to your own.
Mr. Coleman’s Recent Revisions, Applied or In-Process:
-Begin each day with exercise; and a time of stillness and contemplation
-Have a day of rest each week where I only do things that bring a richness and fullness to my soul
-Turn off the TV even more
-Buy vegetables from the people who pulled them out of the ground
-Be fully present when I am home
-Be able to identify every tree, plant, and flower that grows in my yard
-Teach my son how to identify birds
-Find new ways to remind my wife each day that I cherish her
-Do the dishes without wishing we had a dishwasher
-Eat non-processed food
-Look for the good in others
-More breaths filled with fresh air
-Continue to look for ways to revise my story...

ReplyDeleteWe often do much for our own soul when we extend a hand to help others. I applaud your willingness to look inward and change yourself, as well as your willingness to reach out and help others. Well lived...

ReplyDeleteAs a parent, I can assure you that your efforts to thank your mom for all that she does to put food on the table will mean the world to her.
