Taking control of one's life.

Sometimes I forget. About the fantastic nature of life. Taking life too matter-of-factly.  For granted. Rather than capturing and savoring  the precious moments. That occur almost daily. Instead, I’m focused on the humdrum. The routine.  As if there was nothing special happening. When really, conscious life is special. An opportunity to feel blessed. To take control of one’s life. In meaningful ways. --Jim Broede
