Fix Yourself Today
An Apple a Day…
I think I shared this photo of an ‘apple a day’ on a recent blog and decided it fit here too, the Friday after Thanksgiving when I’m writing this. Today we had a wonderful weekly activity called “Fix Yourself Friday.” What does that mean? We sit around a table and answer questions and have a conversation about the answers: how we’d like to improve our outlook or our life as we have it now in our older years.
Here are a few of the questions:
What do you wish for?
What do you regret?
What do you want to leave behind?
What do you like about yourself?
It took some of us a bit of stretching to come up with the answers.
I found that I wish for continued good health.
I only regret not being true to myself in many situations.
I want to leave behind for others my love, my faith, and my happiness.
I like about myself my generosity, my friendliness, and my love for and interest in other people. I imagine that’s why I became a writer!
Consider answering these questions for yourself and share them with us.
Happy day!
Philippians 4:12-13 “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
That pretty much sums up my life. How about yours?
Happy belated Thanksgiving Karen. I really resonate with the questions asked about how to fix ourselves. I’m going to do them too. Thank you for the wonderful example of continuing to be engaged in life giving activities. Thank you for your wonderful work as my writing mentor. You have planted seeds that go deep and I am continuing to write. God bless you and your family.
Love you.
Sandy
Thanks so much, Sandy. You are special to me too and I’m so happy to know you are continuing to write.
Karen, what a great exercise for people our age!
I wish for continued good health and ways of using it to serve the Lord.
I regret I have not always used my time as well as I could.
I Want to leave behind a legacy of love for the Lord and others.
I like that the Lord gave me the ability to reach out to people easily and remember songs and scriptures that encourage me and others.
I guess this Sunday School song sank into my consciousness early in my life. “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine”
You are a good example of that Karen. God bless you!!!
What a beautiful comment, Etta Mae. You have been a shining light to me.
