My Teachers

My Teachers

When I think about my best teachers
I first think about the ones
I loved taking classes with,
those that touched my heart
and who allowed me to know
I was loved and respected.
They may have been some of my best teachers
academically,
but some of my best teachers in life
were the people I have not liked at all.
They were the ones I found difficult,
the ones who got on my last nerve.
and the ones who I struggled to find
anything nice in them.
The reality is in the school of life,
they were some of my best teachers.
They are the ones who pushed me
out of my comfort zone
and helped me grow and evolve.
They registered me for classes
I never would have taken.
They taught me lessons
I would never have learned on my own.
I am grateful for all my teachers,
the ones who I wanted to learn from and grow with
and the ones who forced me
to step outside my comfort zone
and grow.

After as many years as I have spent taking classes
I have met my share of teachers.
However, those who have taught me the most
in my life
are not amongst them.
There were a few like Dr Diane Samdahl and Dr Gail Ricciuti
who will always have a place in my heart
because that is where they taught from.
My life has been filled with people ,
like my wife, who has taught me what it is like
to truly be loved unconditionally.
Events,
like when I felt the feeling leave my right side and leg,
which taught me how to walk in faith and grace in all situations.
Places,
like our prayer garden,
which have taught me how the universe works and if I blink
I will miss the miracles happening before my eyes.
Things,
like my wax melts
which remind me to stop and breathe
and learn from the memories which still live in me
The teachers in my life,
are more then the people;
they are the place, things, moments, and experiences
which teach me
when I open myself to learning
what they strive to teach.

Enriching

Enriching

How is God enriching you now?
That was the question
someone asked me.
It has stopped me and made me question
how is God improving me right now.
How is God enriching me?
How is God making me of greater value
to myself, others, or the world.
With all the challenges I have faced today,
I know they have been filled with opportunities
for me to grow and evolve.
Today I am learning how to be strong
and advocate for myself.
I am learning how to farm,
as I have had to figure out what I need to do
and when so that all is in place
that needs to be.
I am learning how to be more forgiving
and love unconditionally,
even when others think things are more important
then our relationships.
I am learning to laugh and
surrender and not let life
steal my joy.
Maybe there is more,
but in the midst of this
rather frustrating day
this is how I feel myself
being enriched.

Transforming

Transforming

Have you ever sat in amazement at how
God works in mysterious ways.
whether it is how people are bought together
or situations which arise to teach us lessons,
the Universe works in mysterious ways
to help us grow, evolve, and transform.
I keep learning how to transform how I see the situation.
Whether it is moving out of the stress and into peace
or releasing the victim role it is easy to fall into,
creatively transforming the situation
moves me through and teaches me lessons about life.
Like when my wheelchair was not running properly
and I felt my stress level rising
because my fairly new wheelchair was not working.
Before I completely lost it,
I remembered to stop and look for the blessings.
I began to give thanks for the warranty,
the spare chair in the garage,
the friend who cleared the drive of snow so it could come in the
house.
I remembered that prayer and meditation relieve my stress,
so I stopped, napped and released my concerns to the Ultimate.
I remembered I can still walk very short distances
and I have a wife who helps me when I need assistance.
By looking for the blessings,
thanks to my Bubby’s wisdom,
this situation, and others,
transformed itself from frustrating to fruitful,
all because I was willing to learn and transform.

To Those I Should Thank

To Those I Should Thank

Thanks.
It is easy for me to thank the ones I love,
the ones who support me,
surround me with unconditional love,
grace,
mercy,
and affirmations.
it is easy to say thank you
to the ones I want to thank.
Then there are those
who I jokingly say have saved me
so much money.
They are the ones
I would prefer not to thank
but I am truly grateful for their being
these heat sinking missles
that have clearly shown me what I need to work on next.
They are the ones
I love because
they are part of humanity,
but they are not the ones
I choose to spend time with.
Yet I am ever mindful they too
have been used by the Ultimate
to teach me and help me grow.
They too bring me a lesson
which will help me grow and evolve
and in a way that only they can help me.
So to those of you who have helped me
by hurting me,
shedding light on the pain,
the lessons, and
the journey.
Thank you,
for helping me grow,
heal,
and evolve.
