Emotional Word Picture of My Mood Today (April 10, 2008)
Today, I find myself, sitting in a new place in my life. I find myself, sitting in a place I’ve never been before. I find myself, seated in a boat in the middle a beautiful lake.
This lake is so calm and so peaceful to me. I look over the side of the boat into the lake and it’s almost like looking in a glass of water. I can see everything in this lake. I can feel everything in this lake.
I see the fish swimming around under the lakes surface; I see the green plants as well as the rocks on the bottom floor. This lake is so calm to me; this lake makes me feel so alive.
As I sit in the boat, I realize this lake is my new life. I realize my journey truly now has only begun.
Explanation of How My Emotional Word Picture Fits My Life Situation:
Well it really simple. This is the life I wish to have, one of love, one of peace, one of harmony and one of forgiveness. I have realized on this journey I am human and I am not a perfect person. It’s time to forgive myself for my faults and weaknesses. It’s time to take responsibility for my life, my feelings and my actions. Change can only start within me by me.
“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he” – (Proverbs 23.7, NKJV).
In my life I think hope, so in my life there will be hope. This journey has been a difficult one for me.
There have been trials at times I feel have almost tore me apart from the inside out. I know the sad times are not done yet, for I still grieve the loss of my spouse. I love my spouse, but she is no longer in the boat with me on my lake I call life. I wish her well and hope her lake brings her peace.
My journey continues….

Last year, I took a 10 day trip to a beautiful lake in the Ottawa region of Ontario. My colleague and I, had in tow 10 of our kids from the centre where I work. Homeless, street involved kids, all under the age of 21. You took me back to that time, where I felt peace, as the fog lifted in the early morning, as our canoes peacefully glided along the river. Water can be magical. Imagine yourself, gliding your fingers across the water as your canoe sits idle in the water. This is our new life. To find peace within us.
