Colander.....

Word of the Day..... Colander....n.,....a perforated utensil for washing or draining food. What if we had a huge COLANDER for life? We could put all our troubles and cares in there along with blessings and good fortune and the bad stuff would just drain away. Then all we would have left would be things that make us happy. Every morning you could get up and lump your life in your colander. How big a drain would you need for your bad, uncomfortable, or not quite right things to be flushed down? Hmmmmmmmm....and then how big should your colander be to hold all the good that's left. I'm going to just go ahead and say YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE!! On any given day, you might be able to immediately start listing all the awful, faulty, cruddy, bummer type things you want to pile in your colander......but could you immediately name all those things you don't want to go down those holes? Which is it......size of holes for the junk of life? Or size of the colander to hold all the blessings, loves, beauties of your life that are left after the colander has drained. Is this a glass half full or empty type question? I think in some ways yes....but I also think it's a .....PLEASE don't be able to list the uglies of your life faster than you can list the pretties. Please greet each new day thinking of the size of colander to hold joy and happiness....not size of holes or drains to wash away problems, or unwanted things. Happiness first......blessings first.....then just maybe you'll gain that strength to not need a colander at all. You'll be able to face life's storms and trouble on your own. Sharpen you skills, hone your mind, solve your problems..........put that colander away. You're amazing!!
