it was a very good year

While I’m doing my best to appreciate life, I know there is much love and hurt in the world. It can become a constant battle, trying to find the balance of embedding joy in my soul and not being beat down by life hard forces. And if I am knocked down to the ground, I hope on forever that I will be on bended knees finding the strength to get back up. Though what I love about the struggles I face is that I can glean from them something fierce to make me stronger for the next battle…full of more experience to help my fellow battered soul. At least that is what I believe that’s what we are for, to enjoy life to the fullest with one another and show that life is for living.

You take the happenings in Japan & Libya now, the past, and all the unknown battles people in this world are dealing with…evermore the reason love should beat on. I harbor hope for all to have the strength and courage to carry on and rise above the loss and hurt they have experienced. To go after the dreams ready to be brought to light. Not taking life for granted and appreciating the richness it can bring. The best thing in the world is to show love to others (that means loving yourself too). And there are so many ways to show it. In your job, at school, with your family and friends, show that life is worth living when there’s always love in the world.

Full of thanks today to overflow the span of my life tenfold. Do hope you feel the same or something close to it. : )
