I strive to be the me I am meant to be

There is so much political crap happening these days – sometimes I just want to ignore it all. And yet, I can’t.

One thing I am learning (or trying to learn) is how to keep my equilibrium through these rough times. I want to continue to strive to be the person I want to be. I do not want to be a person who wishes other people ill – though several times a day these days I really have to fight the urge to wish some people nothing but harm. And that is not me – at least not the me I want to be.

So I try to concentrate on the good in the world. Soldiers are fighting to keep us safe and free – I want to honor that. Unfortunately, some of them are also dying. I send good and healing energy to their families and friends who are left behind to deal with the heartbreak of losing someone. I wish I could change what happened, but I can’t.

People are being gunned down in the streets – both by random people with guns, and by the some of the people who are supposed to be there to protect us. I don’t understand it; I don’t like it. I send their families and friends good and healing energy. I know it is not much, and it is what I can do, so I will do it.

All I can do, it seems, is to stay on my path and try to be the me that I am meant to be. And so I will fight my baser urges and try to continue to do just that.
