Tangled Thoughts

Some of the words jumped out of the speaker and landed straight into my head.
But it's easier to please the world
Than it is to please myself.
While I was out shopping over the weekend, I heard the song "What I Cannot Change" by LeAnn Rimes. It's not the type of music that I usually listen to, but it was on at the store. My thoughts locked on that one phrase from the song--on how it is easier to go with the flow, than to know what we really need and want. It takes examination to find our true priorities, but it is worth it. I promise. So, my dears, make sure you're not too busy pleasing the world that you forget to take care of yourself.

Quit it. I'm already feeling sorry for myself and reading this made me feel immediately weepy. I'm tired of going with the flow of the world. I want to go with my own flow for a change.

Going with your own flow doesn't mean going alone--just in case you're fretting about that.
