Maybe it's my meditating habit, maybe it's the work

I've been doing spiritually, or perhaps just being dang grateful

for my life for a change.

I looked back over some pictures from over the last 

10 years (piling up in my phone gallery),

and it hit me how many blessings I've been given.

My photos are a way of revisiting the timeline of my life...

and all along, I have definitely been grateful.

 That was always the prompt to take the photo in the first place.

 It was a desire to capture and hang onto the moment I was grateful for.

However....the unhealed victim mentality I have had to 

learn to let go of...(still...)

well, it sucked juice out of the blessings...

and that is a fact I am well aware of today.

Old friends. This weekend in
Monett. We go back over 40 years. 

I wrote these words this morning after my meditation.

They just came up.

"Always when...

then it will be better.

Wishing away the moments before me.

Trading in the now & investing presence, time, and energy

for a tomorrow of uncertainty.

Looking back, wishing I invested more in a time gone by."

I may not be voted Miss Poetic anytime soon...

but my heart feels happier, and I'll take that !

"People come and go throughout our lives.

We make friends and lose friends in cycles.

Some people are meant to be in our lives for a season

and others for a lifetime.

Each type of relationship valuable,

because each soul we encounter is a gift,

offering a lesson.

Reflect on your relationships today

and give thanks for the lessons and for the souls

you've been able to meet in your lifetime."

~Sunrise Gratitude~

The last few days have been packed full of journaling notes.

I'll share a collaboration on my next post.

For now this is enough.

Hubby has a Dr. appt. in the morning.

It's a cancer screen.

Please hold him in your thoughts and prayers.
