Do you recall what you were thinking and feeling almost 6 years ago to the day?
Over the past 8 and a half years journaling has become a way to reflect, reset and focus on the goodness of my life. It can be a blessing for all who want to master and place the good reflections top of mind. The mindset can be trained to focus on the goodness.
My post today is from a page in my journal written in 7/25/18.
“One may think this sickness has not been a blessing, but it has. I have loved deeply, felt gratitude beyond gratitude for the gifts of love bestowed upon me.
The challenges make us stronger, but what makes us more grateful…but to know that this is all temporary. Every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every year we spend in the presence of love, of belonging with HOPE and FAITH is a life well lived.
I am grateful for all the gifts I have been blessed with, and I pray that you all may be as blessed to KNOW- to have HOPE- to have FAITH and to feel LOVE so deeply in this lifetime.
Go forth- love one another well and serve others well with love in your hearts.
God speed,
