The year 2009 will not be a year of sweet memories for me but it will mark a" good year " of learning. In losing so many loved ones this year, here are some of the things that I did learn from not just sadness but the joy that each passing can bring...
I learned that each day is truly a gift...a gift of life!
I learned to value the gift of family...for a husband who is always there at my side in good times and the heartbroken times! My children who always look to the bright side of life and keep moving forward when life changes out of their control!
I learned that two parents love for one another through good times and in bad, held strong in love for 56 years and that I was so blessed that they were my mom and dad!
I learned to value a friendship that is steadfast and true, doesn't judge and is there in good times and in the down times!
I learned that each flower in my garden grows, blooms and dies but each season will come more bouquets to enjoy and nurture!
I learned that taking my dog for a walk is her favorite thing!
I learned that I can steer a kayak through the water all on my own and that being on the water is a time of relaxation , reflection and that there is a whole other world beneath me and my boat!
I learned my mail mans name and am thankful for his daily walk to and from my house!
I have learned to value the small things in life as well as the great!
I have learned to bring peace to the old, trust in my friends, cherish the young and most of all to walk humbly with our God!
I have learned HE is always there...HE has given me this life and it is a celebration and a reminder that when all else is stripped away, a life lived with LOVE is enough!
Blessings to all for a New Year full of love, life and lessons learned!
