This is the time of day when I have the most quiet and often mull over the day's events or ponder the little things that have been niggling around in the back of my head for awhile. I begin this particular journey as a source of discovery about myself and think this may be an efficient way to step back and observe my thoughts over time. I seek to improve who I am and understand the impact I have on my own thought processes.I am, in a sense, a fish out of water - far from where I spent all my adult life, in a place I loved.
My life has changed in countless ways, some tragically, over the last years. At the same time I still believe that every cloud does indeed have a silver lining and trials and tribulations enable you the opportunity to learn so much about yourself and the people you love and that love you.
I know that without the depth of sorrows I have experienced in life, I couldn't experience the incredible joy that I have been blessed with as well. With each difficult situation or trying circumstance, I have the opportunity to grow as a person.
It may not feel much like growing at the time...often it only feels like treading water or swimming upstream (sometimes plumb fighting for your life), but in the end, with some perspective, I can eventually see the beauty emerge from the trial I survived and when I lift myself up I find myself a little stronger, a little wiser, and more appreciative of the blessings in my life.
