that's why

I just got back from a lovely family reunion on the Gulf Beaches of Florida.
I still feel as relaxed as jello ... the sun, the sand, the good company ... so wonderful.

oh, and I even got shat on by a big ol pelican! rumor has it that's good luck.
LOL. uh huh. hope so. that stuff was tough to get out of my purse.

anyway, when I got home I caught up on my friend debra's blog and found this gem:
***
You are not on earth to make things happen. You are not on earth to spread the love. You are not on earth to make it a better place or to learn acceptance of the things you cannot change. You are not on earth to find your soul mate or your purpose. You are not on earth to put the needs of others before your own. And you are most certainly not on earth to suffer, pay penance, be tested, or judged.

Did I leave anything out?

You are on earth because in your loftiest state of being, perched high above the wonderment, at the pinnacle of your glory, you wondered what it would be like, even fleetingly, to believe in limits.

You sage

And when you can grasp this from within the illusions, you will also grasp how unlimited you truly are. (And we'll probably never hear the end of it...)

here's what I say to that: YEE HAW!!!! I love it.
I struggled for years to make sense of that whole "Life is a school" philosophy. Finally I gave up and decided maybe life was actually the playground!

How would you live if your experience was simply a gift to the Creator, rather than a lesson, a growth opportunity, or a test?
