after all is said and done, i am a pretty together person. at the end of the day (year) - and even at the beginning of it - i "get" it.
i get what it means to live a truly "good" life. not thee good life, perhaps, but a good life. i understand that living a good life means having God as your center - not having your own thoughts, conclusions, ideas, opinions, and desires as your center.
i get it that in order to assemble anything remotely akin to a happy life, i have to surrender my will to God's will. (what's even better? - matching my will to His.)
i get it that this, too, shall pass.
i get it that what i do to the least of these, i do to Him.
i get it that the beatitudes are true.
i get it that i will be okay, if not right now, then at least, in the end. (which is actually the beginning.)
i get it.
i also forget it.
new year's resolution?
remember.
