Today my thoughts are drawn to why we follow the destructive patterns in life. Whether this be in our homes with our children, in our habits and addictions, or in our relationships these patterns seems impossible at times to overcome. I have a history of health issues and mishaps that lead me to seek medical treatment. The pain that comes from these sometimes leads me to a pattern of pain. This pain if not recognized begins to seep into other areas of my life. So, whatever our patterns are in life, I want to pose a question. What would it take to fill the gaps in our life so that we can find the inner strength that I feel each person has had since before they were born? Where does our energy go? Do we spend it on things that hurt us more than help us? I would not be writing this if I knew all the answers. The one thing I know is that I will not give up. I fall seven times and get up eight. This is me trying on more time!
