Thank you Mrs. President.

“In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.”
-Eleanor Roosevelt

Currently (yes, as I am writing this), I am watching a biography about Mrs. Roosevelt. Quite a remarkable woman. I am adding her Autobiography to my list of books to read.

And as for the quote at the beginning of this post:
After many years and many, many, musings upon the subject, I came to the same conclusion that Eleanor did.
Who I am is not a constant. Who I am is based upon every second that slips by. All my morals, all my ideas about life, and the way people perceive me is based upon that fact that I continually make the choice to remain "me". In the next second, I could decide to completely reinvent who I am. All I have to do is make one split-second choice to be changed.
But why would I want to do that? Haha, I don't want to. All I'm saying is that it really is that easy.

"Life is a progress, not a station." So true, Mr. Emerson, so true. It is a comfort to know that life is a movement. Change, like death, is inevitable. It occurs every second. I have learned to place my expectations, on this earth, not on others but on movement...progression...change. Therefore, I am never disappointed.
Of course, the way I survive the unpredictable ways of life is because of God. But that's another musing for another day.
