i will be a windmill

as I was driving back to la from palm desert today I became fascinated by the many windmills. It really was a fascination because i took like 75 pictures of them. In a recent blog I added a set of pictures of windmills that ide taken last year, and for me the changes in each photo represented growth over time. However I never really knew the exact purpose of windmills and the significance in regard to my life. 

butttt the purpose of a windmill is to generate energy from the wind to turn into other energy to use for other things. depending on the speed/pressure of the wind it will determine the amount of energy produced. the connection hit immediately when I realized no matter what the weather is, the windmills still take the energy and transfer it into different energy. ----we are dealt with different situations everyday and my goal this year is to gain the strength of the windmills and no matter what comes my way-turn it into positive energy/learning experience. People will do what they want to do but taking control of the situation is changing your response to it. this year i hope to : not let others control my happiness, find the good in situations, learn to let people go when they are mistreating me, forgiveness, not being in denial of mentally abusive relationships, continue to understand the difference in friends and associates, and to really value all the goodness  .
