Reflection...
As I look back on this year, stead of regret, I find myself being thankful. grateful, really, for all that has transpired. Much loss, many tears, and several lessons that filtered into my brain and resonated there. "Yes, I will do that different next time, or, I stand firm in what I believe in." Inner vows, really.
I remember being eleven and making an inner vow, that inside voice that speaks very loudly, of determination and decision. And today, I still keep those decisions close at hand. My thoughts continue to change, but I remain the same. I lost nothing, I gained everything, and at 39, I am the woman I want to be.
The past is lived, so I look closer at what may come tomorrow. Christmas sleeps away, and I am excited about the holidays! I will spend it with my friends and family and give out my home made latin food, some gifts and some hand made greeting cards. A small gesture, but somehow everyone seems to appreciate they were thought of.
And what will come, around the corner, I am not sure. I hope I am surprised and continue to be grateful for the breath within me. Surely it is everything that I have my health, I am very lucky with very good friends, and I know my purpose on this earth.
Many happy days to each of you, this holiday season and all through the year. Listen closely and you shall hear the sound of hope, the promise of peace, and the presence of love. May you live this coming year with no regrets & no fear!
Thankful,
