It seems to me that I should work harder, do more and generally be a better person. But as the day goes along I fall into a routine that has been my norm for years. I have changed some things like my push ups and I have added to my routine a morning scripture reading time, but I worry that I should be doing more. My emotions still go up and down as does my 'fret quotient' about my work. But usually I am able to relax and take what comes. My 'It is what it is" comes into play a lot and I am learning to live with it better then I have in my past. I guess that I have learned what I cannot change and I am working on learning the things that I can change. That apparently is the more complicated of the two and takes longer to learn. So there is still hope for me. I give Sheila credit for some thoughts that I am trying to 'ponder' now as she remembered a few talks from a visiting teaching message that we were able to find on the internet and print a copy for each of us. It fits well with my effort at understanding 1 Corinthians chapter 13 subject: charity. I didn't spend any time on it today (except for my morning read) so I will try to do some time with it tonight before I go to sleep. That may be hard because I am really tired. I must have worked harder today then I thought.

I think that it is hard to take things as they come and to be satisified with how things are. We are taught that if we are not moving forward, we are moving backwards, so that gives me a reason to feel like things can always be better or different. I think that it is hard to find the balance between always trying to do/be better and accepting that things are the way they are.
