Hard Right or Easy Wrong?


We are constantly faced with choices, and often we are tempted to follow the way of least resistance. In our dealings with others and ourselves it is usually easier to say yes than no, but yes is not always the best answer. If we are too permissive, we become lax and ineffective.

The problem with taking the easy way is that it usually ends up being harder in the long run. If we do not control our eating, we will have all of the problems of obesity. If we do not limit our spending, we will eventually lack funds for what we need. If we do not follow moral and ethical principles, our lives become chaotic and we live in constant fear and tension.

Although choosing the hard right is difficult, it is by exercising our ethical muscles that we become strong and gain self-respect.

By Your grace, may I make the right choices.
Have always looked at myself at 'fat' and my son says, "You are not fat Mom." I was comparing, instead of identifying. I started looking around and found a lot of obese women, but the fact for me is, "Am I at my healthy weight." The answer was no. I am not as young as I use to be. Carrying a lot of weight around is not healthy, especially now that my heart is weak. I don't plan to diet, but I am going to try to make healthy choice.

I have to turn my thinking over to my Higher Power.
