Start? Where Am I?

Start where you are...if you want to reach a goal.  It sounds good, but I never considered what that meant.  How many people actually stop to look and see where they are?  I never have...I was always afraid to look.  So, for a good part of my life, I've walked around with my hands over my eyes playing peek-a-boo.  When I thought it was safe to look, I would look through my fingers until I spotted another threat.

Start where you are, sounds simple.  Sounds easy but it's not.  In order to do that, you have to actually take note of where you are.  Accept where you are.  And then survey the damage in the area and begin to clean it up.  In order to look and accept, at some point you have to take time out of your busy life to stop and do this.  How many people actually do that? 

Didn't think I had time to stop, was to scared to look and where I was and was too anxious to clean up.  I feared what was under the debris. 

I decided that life is too short to go through it blind folded.  There is just too much to see.  Too many good things that over whadow the monster under the bed that may threaten to shatter my life at every turn.  I have surveyed the area. And I've learned that if no immediate danger exists, I have plenty of time to accept what is there.  Then, I begin in one spot, picking up the pieces and either putting them where they belong or tossing them...
