Peaceful state

I’ve reached a point in my life where I’ve settled negative issues with others, forgiven those that have done me wrong, asked forgiveness of those I’ve done wrong, and (mostly at least) forgiven myself for everything.

We spend too much of our time, of our lives, struggling with things we needn’t.

I’m 69 now and finally able to separate the important from the unimportant.

I find myself in a peaceful state. I know there will be struggles in the future, but for now, all is well.

And if difficult times come, I hope I will be able to hold on to a bit of the peace I now feel.

It’s good to be alive; precious actually.
