Reflections

Sometimes you have to pay heed to the words you say to someone else.

Simply put, I thank you all for gracing my life.

I awoke today with a smile on my lips, in my heart, and in my mind.
Not because of anything spectacular, but simply for the thought of feeling balanced in my heart and in my head.
So often in this life I get caught up in helping others. I can do a multitude of different jobs, care for the most unforgiving people, and still laugh at the end of the day in looking at my pride.

I woke this morning smiling. Looking forward to my adventures. They were quiet, restful, and full of dreams.

I recognized that I don't really know where I am headed....but that is fine for now.
I have wonderful friends, family that I wouldn't trade away, and a healthy body that carries me to each destination that I choose to explore.

I find that I am opening my heart, and it's scary, but I can't always hide behind the curtains and draw them closed because someone sees I am vulnerable.

My daughter told me this in much more flowered language, but I recognize the wisdom in her writing.

I have no idea if it is visible. I don't really care.
I can go out and just be myself without care if someone else sees the real me.

I cry
I dance
I have love
I can even have anger.

Part of being alive and in this world.

Some of the old comforts I used to protect myself will not be used anymore.

I really love where I am today.....all of it.

I don't have all the answers but I can sure look for them.

I'm growing. I have friends and family who will help if I just say the words.

I love you.
