I have officially completed 27 years on this earth. And I feel some days like I have learned nothing...
Today I'd like to reflect on the things I have discovered,. in the hopes that on my next dreary day I can look back and recall all those milestones along the way.
I have learned that talk is cheap, words can hurt more than a fist and that I have been both hurtful and cheap.
I have learned that life is all about the journey. Too often I get caught in the details, on the successes, the failures. It's about the big picture, and knowing I am closer today to where I truly desire to be than I was last week, or even last year.
I have learned that pets really do make people happier. I know this every time Lola or Bentley comes to snuggle me or makes me laugh as they play with toys. They are 'just dogs', but in so many ways, they are everything.
I have learned that when there are expectations, there is almost always disappointment. The only expectations I want to have moving forward are for hope- in the Father, the Son and the Spirit. I believe it is here I will find peace.
I have learned that my passion is contagious. I hope that when I look back on year 28, I see evidence of my passion along the way, in tangible things, in people around me.
I have learned that the more I think I know- the more questions I have.
And I have SO many questions.
... To another year. Hope it's the best yet.
