What is Life? Is is a journey down a winding path? Is it a mountain to climb? Is it a river to forge? Is it a valley of green? Is it a storm that tosses you to and fro? Is it road filled with boulders and fallen trees blocking your way? Or is it a meandering path through a hillside of green?
Life can be all these things and more...there are seasons to every life...
It seems my life has been a journey long, filled with winding roads that have big pot holes and boulders along the way, yet moments of laughter and smiles as I grow in strength to move on. It has been a life of up hill climbs, with rugged mountains high with steep cliffs to make me watch my step, yet filled with moments of kindness and love as I walk the path with a wondering heart filled with more love than anyone could hold. It has been a life of down pours that turn into a flood of muddy waters that wash me out to sea, yet moments when someone leans a helping hand to rescue me, giving me hope for tomorrow as I search for the meaning in life and search for all the rainbows. It has been a life of pain and sorrow, yet many flowers bloom and the colors shine bright, for in my heart there is peace knowing I have reached out to others, I have done my personal best in all life has given me, I have taken all I have to open my heart so someone else can shine and be encouraged...
My life is one that will make sure I never stop learning, never stop growing and never stop loving...for in all the years of struggle I have gained the strength to reach tomorrow...I have grown to think of others before myself, yet find balance to take care of me so I have the energy to give with my whole heart. I believe my journey has helped me find the true meaning in life, yet I still have so much more to learn...I choose this life of love and giving, no matter the cost, for my savior paid the price. I will live each moment like it was the first and give with an open heart...to count the blessings along the way...to cherish each breath...to smile at everyone I meet along the way...For in life, one lives to give and in giving one finds oneself!
