Beginning the day with a blessing...

Good morning world, and may all your heart's desires be fulfilled. May you see a path filled with opportunity instead of obstacles, and please believe when I tell you your life can only get better when you focus on the virtues instead of the faults. I have been working to open my eyes to the truths common to us all, and am starting to see what held me back in the past: my own stubborn decisions to shut myself off from learning paths of wisdom and character. Today, things are vastly different. I can listen, feel, understand, assist, and console. How valuable is that?!? I cannot begin to say. All I know is that my life has become so much richer since I allowed others in, and offered in turn myself to others. Awesome. Have a great day, y'all :)

Challenges, Setbacks, Realizations, and Propulsion

Again, it's been a minute since my last post. Things are going great; gratitude serves me well as I choose to stay focused on long term goals and the baby steps that lead to them. The challenges I face need not be such big deals, as long as I don't forget where I've come from and what I've been through. A walk in the park, as they say :) Taking a setback to my expectations and trusting that in some way, greater than I can appreciate, it is for the best, really makes things easier, and that is a welcome realization that propels me forward so I can focus on baby steps, all the while believing more everyday the long term goals are not only possible, but patiently there and waiting for me. That is the kind of patience I must continue to develop, and encourage others in, so that we may all be better for it. And I'm spent :P
