Expressing Peace. Halfway. 50.

Halfway Full

Halfway Full
Sam Gewinski

I am halfway. This is the mid-point. My goal is 100 consecutive days expressing peace.

As I asked how I shall celebrate being halfway to my goal, I knew the answer. I shall express the peace of being halfway to my goal.

The glass is halfway full, and I am — and will be — blessed to keep pouring until it is totally full.

Consider a task or project or assignment or commitment you have owned. Remember the peace you felt when some milestone — mid-point or otherwise — allowed you to pause, to take a break, maybe even to rest a bit? The milestone wants you to be easy, to be at peace as you look back on what you’ve done. Wants you to know peacefully the “aha” of what’s accomplished and the “oh, yeah….” of what you might have done differently.

And the milestone wants you to look ahead. With the peaceful energy of “soon enough; I’ll get there soon enough” and “what’s to come is as good as what’s behind; thank you!”

I love the first 50. I love you for being part of my motivation. I love the fun and the feel-good I’ve taken from every step in every Expressing Peace written: receiving the “ideaspiration”, writing the thoughts, feeling the prayer, attaching a picture, clicking “Publish”. I love anticipating 51. 84. 92…..

Guiding Presence, what fun I’ve had!
Thank you for giving me the everything this has required:
Confidence. Commitment. Enjoyment. Faith.
Of those, the last is first.
Faith kept my engine fueled with certainty:
this is to do and I will do it.
Ever Present Guide,
you give this gift to everyone that we may take a task,
see its end, enjoy its midway stop,
look back with pleasure and look forward with anticipation,
and then move ahead.
And so it is. Amen. Amen.

Enjoy Peace. Keep Expressing Peace.

Tim
