Thankful, Grateful, Blessed

Hello Winter

If kisses were snowflakes, I'd send you a blizzard - 

               

Winter is a magical season. It's as if I've awaken from a long summer slumber.

             Tis the season to be aware of the tiny magic everywhere. -

Where I am

               I did not plan to be where I am. nor will I always be here. 

                 God has a plan for my life .I find comfort in knowing 

                              -  I am exactly where I need to be.

Along the path I journey on

Along the path I journey on. . . . I will stop and smell the flowers. I will see the beauty in each day. I will look for the good in every person. I will come home from a long day and smile because I have a place of solace to lay my head in. I will try new paths to marvel at. I will follow my heart and pursue  my dreams. I will spread the love I hold in my heart. I dance in the rain and skip in the brisk air. I will cherish the moments and love the life I have now. I will  make each day count and be grateful in all things. I will be still and quiet in the peaceful night and be full of joy at the rising of the sun.

                      I will stop and smell the flowers. . . . Along the path I journey on.

Worthy

Just recently I've been looking at my life with amazement. In awe of the blessings God has bestowed Before me. Almost feeling guilty and undeserving. And then this morning I read in my devotional;

This is a time of abundance in your life. Your cup runneth over with blessings. After plodding uphill for many weeks, you are now traipsing through lush meadows drenched in warm sunshine. I want you to enjoy to the full this time of ease and refreshment. I delight in providing it for you.

Sometimes my children hesitate to receive my good gifts with open hands. Feeling a false guilt Creep in, telling them they don't deserve to be richly blessed.. This is none sense thinking. Because no one deserves anything from me. My kingdom is not about earning and deserving.; it is about believing and receiving. - 

... So in conclusion. I am worthy not because I deserve it it. But I come with a grateful heart and open arms, basking in his rich blessings. I am of worth because God says so. I am a child of God.

Seasons change

The cool brisk air today was revitalizing! Cold  weather makes me feel alive. I am reminded that seasons change, making life  interesting. I can choose to mourn the past, have great regrets OR   just look back with great appreciation.  I am excited for what is just around the bend. New life is just waiting to be discovered. 

Blooming in my head :)

Routines are over rated. We need them to keep some type of order, BUT they can create stagnation and kill creativity,  putting us  in a rut.   I strive to live creatively. Letting everyday be different and new. I want to be in Awe everyday and continually allow fresh ideas to bloom in my head.

Stepping out, I realize ... There is a whole new world outside of normal :)

A life she imagined

If you are not living the life you imagined. . . . Start now :)

                        

I Am Me

My life feels good now. I am fulfilled. I am not sad or lonely. I am free and happy. I am able to be me and people like me. I have gifts and talents, I use them everyday. I am kind and caring and I am loved. I am strong, I have dreams and I follow my heart. My life does not hurt anymore and the pain is behind me. I can laugh now and feel joy in my heart. 

                                      I am free.   I am happy.   I am me :)

First Friday

A perfect evening. After a somewhat stressful two weeks, my friend and I rented a space at "First Friday," to sell our treasures. The night air was crisp and breezy. As the lights shined brightly upon our items, a steady flow of people admired and purchased. Music played in the distance Creating an ambiance to sooth a soul. We had so much fun. I was in . . . my element.

This is my life,      I am living it with passion and purpose.      All is well.
