Everything Happens
for a Reason
There are no mistakes, no missteps, no accidents ever. Everything that has ever occurred in my life
has brought me to this place. A place
more incredible than I ever could have imagined in my wildest dreams. When I look back at the road that lead me
here I see a maze of people, places and events that you would never expect to
culminate in such an amazing way.
The truly unbelievable part of all of this is that this is
just the beginning. Everything that will
come from this is a new and exciting part of my journey. Something unknown and unexpected but always
wonderful beyond belief.
You Get What You Ask
For
I smiled when I started writing this post today because the
screen saver I have on my laptop is a picture I took while sitting at the shore
of the Caribbean Sea in Mexico earlier this year. I had the same sense of wonder and awe that
day and thought how lovely it would be to live in that environment. Now here I am, just six months later and have
a stunning water view right outside my door.
I begin each day by sitting quietly, looking out at the
water and end it watching the glorious sunset into the horizon. Sometimes it feels like a dream or a beautiful
fantasy but it is real and I know that as I continue to appreciate all that
there is, that there will be more.
It Just Gets Better
and Better
It makes me laugh when I see how some of the pieces came
together, not usually something I would have planned but always perfect for
what needed to happen to get me to the next step.
That is something that I am learning, life doesn’t grow by
leaps and bounds, it evolves one moment at a time. If you’re not paying attention it will
disappear the same way.
Stop and Appreciate
Some people say that life is short and I suppose for some it
can be. For me, it isn’t about the
length but about the amount of joy that it brings. I have had so many different experiences in
my life, some great and others truly painful but they all have given me the
gift of what I needed to learn in order to grow and move on in my life and for
that I am profoundly grateful. It makes
it very easy to appreciate each and every thing because I know it always brings
me to a better place.
One of the best lessons I am learning is how to be in the
moment. It is hard for me not to feel
like I should race on to the next thing at the speed of sound. The minute something good comes into my life
I am so excited that I’m on to the next.
What I’m beginning to realize is that if I’m going too fast I will miss
the experience of having this perfect moment in time.
Right now I will try to stay where I am, right here, right
now and savor every delicious moment.
