What You Take: Body, Heart, Mind, Soul

[salixj]

Imagine someone gives you a peach. The peach may be, perfectly ripe, or still hard and small, sweet smelly or wormy and rotten. Whatever it is, however it is, you now have a peach. That was what was given to you.

What do you take from it? What do you make of it?
 

That is the power we have. Something was given to us, how do we make use of it?

Do you eat it as is, or juice it? Do you try and ripen the unripe peach or make a pickle of it? Bury the bad peach in the ground and hope for a peach tree, or add it to the mulch pile?

What we are given is not always a choice. While what we can take may be limited, we still have options.

Review the "what you were given entries, and choose one from each day, body, heart, mind and soul, and write what you can take from whatever was given that is positive, life changing, and adds to your growth.

Here's hoping all your peaches make your life "peachy". Okay, that was terrible, so sue me.
