“Dwell in Possibility” 21 February 2008

Readers who are Drury people will understand this post.

The title was the inspiring quote at the bottom of Myrna’s bookstore e-mail today. I like it, for a few reasons:

1) Myrna’s inspirational quotes are a good reason to tune into each “spirit day sale” e-mail. Even if I don’t need another Drury hoodie at 25% off…I’m sure to find a reason to smile—for better or for worse—at the bottom of the e-mail.

2) On an ice storm day like today, it’s nice to think about possibility…that spring and flowers and bunnies and sunshine really are just a few weeks away.

3) “Dwell” is such a delicious word. It feels spiritual: I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
I will [LIVE in], I will [surround myself with], I will [claim my space in] possibility.

4) It’s much better than the alternative: dwelling in frustration. dwelling in stress. dwelling in “this is how it’s always been.”
