My 30's have been a time of awakening. The older I get I realize how black and white life is NOT. I realize as a growing believer the struggles that I have to fight evil and to do right. We are not perfect, yet the standards we try to set for ourselves can never measure up to our expectations. The older I get the more reflecting I do, alone in my thoughts. When I say I am trying to find myself, that is exactly what I am doing. Although I love my life, I have some regrets. Things that I have or haven't said, quality time that I have or have not spent with people, career/school choices that I did or did not make. The other day I heard something wise, which really resonated with me. If we could only put a 50 year old head on our 20 year old bodies, we would have avoided a lot of mistakes, pain and heartache. Of course part of growing older comes with learning from past mistakes to become a better person and mentor to those who may be walking in similiar shoes. Life is short..embrace it, love it, learn from it, enjoy it.
Quote of the day: When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
