Each new day is God’s way of saying one more time: hold dear each changing season.
Hello, sweet friend…
As 2019 comes to a close I’m reflecting on all the changes that have occurred in this past decade. There have been many blessings along the way…family…friends…(furry children)…
Reflection can be beneficial… particularly as we close out the past 10 years and prepare to begin a fresh new decade.
In some ways I’m the happiest I’ve ever been…
The years have led me to where I needed to go…
led me through dark seasons…
as I look down the road and enter a new year… a new decade I see the possibility ahead. The end of 2019 asks for me to pause and cast a vision…
Furry pets passed away…
December 2013…Celebrating a milestone birthday
family members became ill.. we moved states…sold 2 homes…bought another home…retired. Some friends faded away…while others have become closer along with new friendships being formed.
I’ve learned… grown…hopefully improved and of course in some ways most likely declined. Yes, this decade has shaped me into who I am right now.
Viewing this entire decade in totality is awe-inspiring and certainly worthy of practicing gratitude for the blessings along the way.
As I look ahead to the 2020’s, I ask myself; what do I want to be? what do I want to leave behind? or…what do I really want out of this life?
I choose not to worry about how to get there just yet… because I have learned that those paths will unfold in small steps…not in miles.
If anything this past decade is a welcome reminder to always have hope…that any problem I’m currently facing will be overcome; and anything I’m hoping for can be achieved.
Wishing you blessings for a prosperous New Year…
Happy 2020!
Thank you! Happy New Year to you and your husband! I really enjoy reading your blog.
