happy birthday Life is a Journey 

happy birthday to you!!

Looking back, I'm amazed at all that's happened in just three-hundred-sixty-five days...

  



The titles of these thirty-six blogs are like mile markers

on my journey of the last three-hundred-sixty-five days. 

It's not been easy (what hasn't killed me has made me stronger, right!?), but it's been so rewarding in so many ways.   I've been reminded that yes, I AM strong enough (though I love a companion to offer support through the battles), I really CAN do it (and more!) if I set my mind to it, and most importantly, that even when I doubt the old saying that God doesn't give us more than we can handle, He never leaves my side.

 

The most important relationships in my life have ebbed and flowed this past year; come and gone, changed for the better and for the worse.  This reminds me of a saying I became familiar with when my heart was broken for the first time so many years ago: 

 


This isn't always easy to accept, but the truth - at times - is anything but easy.  Nothing in life stays the same, except that we do not have to walk through it alone.

 

My relationship with God, the only true Unconditional Lover, has grown in the past year in ways that both excite and yet mystify me.  I've never been closer to Him and felt Him so intently at work in my life.  What a blessing it is!

I hope that at least once my ramblings have:

• made you giggle
• caused you to ponder and maybe even cry
• created the fuel to help you make a change

Life is too short.  Live it! 

Happy Birthday Life is a Journey !
