Fill in the Blank
posted in General |One of the challenges of living in North Carolina is that my allergies can be out of control causing all sorts of havoc in my life. Yesterday was one of those days so I apologize for not posting.

As I was getting caught up on my magazine reading (we have several subscriptions that come to our home) I noticed an ad that I’ve seen several times before, as I’m sure have you. It is a magazine ad that features a celebrity. The celebrity fills in the blank in the following sentence: “I love my ________ life.”
The reason this particular ad caught my attention was because the celebrity filled in the blank with “complicated.” “How sad,” I thought. I didn’t find it sad that her life was complicated, almost everyone’s is, but because of all the adjectives she could have chosen to describe her life, she chose “complicated.”
This made me wonder what adjective I would choose to describe my life. A plethora ran though my mind, but the first was the one I decided was most accurate … blessed. I love my blessed life!
How would you fill in the blank? Why did you pick that particular word? If your adjective is not positive, what can you do to change it?
My life is not blessed because everything is perfect or without issues – everyone who knows me knows that is not the case. But, my life is blessed because I choose to focus on the good. I choose to look for the God-sightings and I choose to bless instead of curse. As a direct result, I am blessed in return.
Choose a Better Life by choosing to fill in the blank with a positive adjective. Only you hold the power to choose.
