Wednesday, 5 May 2005 - A renewed sense of purpose

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for a renewed sense of purpose.

Now that I am 51, I can't go full speed ahead for weeks on end like I did in my 20s, 30s and 40s. So, when I feel run down, I take time to recharge my aging batteries by doing something creative or mentally challenging for a few hours.

I've been known to study knitting patterns for a new project, work on a beaded necklace, complete several online crossword puzzles or invent a new recipe. After the respite, I am once again ready to tackle my to-do list with energy and enthusiasm and, most importantly, a renewed sense of purpose.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
