Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “recipe.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Having passed 70, I’ve had to tweak my recipe for a successful, satisfying life repeatedly…kinda like for brownies: maybe adding a pinch of chili powder and cinnamon, or vanilla extract, orange extract, chocolate chips (or other chips), nuts, coconut, raisins, etc.
I can do brownies practically blindfolded–but managing Life is more complicated because we’re not born with little Walmart-wrapped manuals tucked in the womb.
As I coast through my Winter season I try to stir, mix, (never beat)–the proper measures of these ingredients:
Faith in Christ
Compassion
Generosity, Gentleness, Grace, Gratitude
Hope, Humor (Laughter)
Kindness
Listening
Mercy
Patience, Praise & Prayer
Resilience
The results aren’t perfect every time…some days they’re a bit burnt around the edges, but I just start over.
Tomorrow’s efforts might have the aroma of blue-ribbon brownies fresh from the heart♥
