A lot of them. Some I just happened upon one day and others I looked for.
I am just one person in a great big world and I am reminded that perspective is everything on a regular basis... maybe that's what keeps me reading when I don't even have time to write in my own blog.
I'm touched by the simple joy that others find, heartbroken by their struggles, and inspired by their strength in difficult times. For all that I find myself drawing inward to my own life - I am a people person.
I don't always think on my own to breathe and take heart. I find that reminder in reading the bogs of some truly amazing people I'm blessed to have found in this great big world.
Even when life seems overwhelming and difficult as it does right this minute... there are so many good things to hold onto, to treasure, grown and stand by.
It's been a far too busy few weeks that are running one into another. Not all that needs done is getting done and I'm god awful tired. But I don't want to complain. I have too much good in my life to waste time complaining. Still I would love a bit of sleep... I'm just saying.
I would love a quiet few days without frantic get 'something' done. Yet honestly - I'd probably just find something that needs done and poof that quiet few days would be gone and I'd be doing it to myself. I've never been one to just let life go... I'm in the thick of it trying to make it clean, tidy, good, better, shared, stored, and purposeful.
I think sometimes life's purpose though, is to just be savored like a good book.
Look back a moment, forward another and stand very still... in that quiet moment just be... and be well. Be happy. Be kind. Be helpful. Be thankful. Be loved. And honestly if it's real and honest and unavoidable... Be overwhelmed... just for a moment be true to your self. Look at life from a head-on perspective and know... this is how it is... just now. Then remember it will not always be so... it will be better sometimes and probably even worse others... but it will all pass.
And if you get a moment pour it out in words so you can reflect on it one day and know where you've been as you look to where you are headed and find where you are.
