When I was growing up, my Dad had two toolboxes in his garage. In each of the boxes, you could find a variety of tools needed to fix anything. Everything from screwdrivers to wrenches, hammers, and mallets and well a few items which I had no idea as to what they were used to accomplish. My Dad did and frankly, that was all that mattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I think back on the toolbox which sat on the shelf, I realize each day we are faced with a “project ” for which we need specific tools. Some days I need a little more patience, while other days I may need some quiet alone time. Is there something on your calendar for which you may need a specific tool?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I invite you to join me on this journey of ordinary everyday life. A life filled with challenges and choices, joys and sorrows, valleys, and mountain tops a life in which we all may need a couple of tools to help us along the way. I have come to understand that there are a variety of tools that we can put in our own toolboxes to help anyone live a more focused joy-filled life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
