Good Beautiful Morning

Good beautiful morning!

It’s a gloomy rainy cloudy day today.  And it is absolutely beautiful. I love being out here on my new porch on this beautiful morning, cloudy or rainy or not.  As I am sitting here, I am contemplating my life, as I do when I have the chance to sit for a moment. 

My thoughts went toward the topic of storage units, my storage unit specifically.  It has come up in my mind because I am going to my storage unit today.  It’s funny because I’ve always inherently been against storage units. This one I have now is the first one I have ever had of my own. 

It's filled with things that are from our business and from some of Grants stuff I still have held onto. I realized sitting in the cool of the morning, it’s all the stuff that I do not want to get rid of. And, it’s also stuff that I don’t want to deal with quite yet. 

So then the concept of storage units all of the sudden makes a lot of sense to me.  I begin to reminisce of my chosen storage items and to ruminate about why storage units now make sense to me.  You know, it really is the stuff that I don’t want to deal with. It’s also stuff I don’t want to get rid of actually.

Then I begin  to think about that same concept but within me, I am just like my storage unit holding things for me. I store things within me that are what I don’t want to deal with.  And also, I realize there are things I don’t want to get rid of that I hold on as well. 

My mind goes one step further to the cost of storing these items. With a storage unit that stuff sits there for however long and then you pay for it over and over.  In the end how much of it do you really keep, probably not a lot of it would be my guess. 

Inside me, how much of it ought I to keep, what enriches my being and what just weighs me down?  And for what I keep inside me, what is the cost to me of keeping the things that I keep? How do I pay for the inner things I hold onto?

As I go to my storage unit today, those are the thoughts on my mind that I am ruminating about. What are the things I am storing that I don’t want to get rid of and maybe should deal with and what are the things I am keeping that will enrich my life and make it more beautiful. 

I am a reflection of all these thoughts. I wonder what in my life would I be so much more free without and what I should guard and hold on to.  I wonder what I am paying too much for, maybe I should not be paying so much and what is worth every penny.
