I have thought so much about the valuable life lessons that I have learned as I have taken this unexpected and certainly uninvited journey. As I reflect on the changes that have occurred in my heart, I can only express gratitude and humility for this experience. In my upcoming posts (which I will be more faithful at making) I hope to share the many reflections of gratitude and hope that have been my companions this long, difficult winter season.
For now, I share that truly, summer has once again arrived and at its arrival has replaced vibrant colors of life and living with those once darkened days of winter. No longer do I greet the day with trepidation and uncertainity. No longer do I force time to fly within my mind to escape the darkness. Instead, I wake with a heart full of gratitude and an increased awareness of the good in my life and the love that has sustained me through the many seasons of my life. So I share with each of you my love for life, for love, for time, and for every day that I am given to make something more of my life and hopefully, bless the lives of others as I have been so richly bless. And I share a heartful of gratitude for each of you my friends and family who have walked beside me each step of the way, giving me courage and strength when I lacked the ability to reach deep inside myself enough to find my own.
