Yesterday, I
watched a video by Matthew Kelly through his Dynamic Catholic webpage. He is doing a series of video during the
Lenten Season. I am not sure what it is
all about, but he is one of my favorite Catholic writers, so I am joining in on
the project. He talked about the Sweet
Spot. He believes we are meant to be
filled with happiness/joy. We can do
this through our Sweet Spot.
What is a Sweet
Spot (SS)? He talked about how the SS is
being involved and engaged in ways that will have the most influence and impact
on the world around us. Everything else
is a distraction. Whether or not faith
is a part of a person's life, I believe the SS is relevant for all people. Sure, as I meditated on my SS all day, I
thought of my walk in faith as well, but faith isn't a necessary factor. I also saw another person's SS.
In the
afternoon, I met with my daughter's mentor at a local restaurant. Her social anxiety was wrecking havoc on her,
and she was having a panic attack before her shift. We needed a new game plan for her school
requirement. The current plan was not
working. Dennis was amazing. He came to the meeting with ideas and
plans. He talked about other employees
he works with that have similar difficulties.
The acceptance and love he gave my daughter put tears in my eyes. I saw Dennis' SS. Amazing!!!
This morning, I
continued to think about my SS. At this
point in time, my SS is advocating for my daughter and helping her find her way
into establishing a life with a disability.
We don't know where this will lead, but I am there for her every step of
the way. Right now it means running into
town three to four times a day and setting up and going to meetings. I am glad I love to drive!
Matthew didn't
talk about multiple SSs, but I believe we can have more then one. I think most of my life is a SS. I find joy in my ministries in our community,
being a family member, a friend, and a writer.
Soon, I will be finding my SS in the gardens. Yay! Life
is good!
