The world of Promise

Isn't it amazing that one day we wake up in our lives?  It is the day we truly open our eyes and see the wonder that surrounds us, the love that holds us safe and the laughter that guides us through the ups and down of this journey.  It is the day that you look around at the loved ones in your life, and you see that there is a special someone who inhabits your world and that they are looking back at you in that same special way.

Magic moments that are shared truly make the every day grind of life, worth living.  It is a smile that captures you, it is the twinkle in the eye that charms you, it is the arms that hold you and you feel safe.  Why do we try to seperate and not connect when it is in that connection that gives us the power and the passion to exist?  Why do we medicate ourselves beyond feeling, feed ourselves as a form of complacency or fill in the holes of our life with people or things that are not healthy for us?  I know that I have done that and that my life has changed with this new attitude.  I know that now, I look at the bite of food and validate whether it is healthy for me or not, if I truly need to order something more, or if I can walk somewhere and move this body, that is my temple.  I now know that I am in control of what happens to me, my body and in my life and I will not fall asleep again.

I have started to create a life that is filled with love, filled with special people and filled with special moments.  As I create this life, I am learning so much about me and about what makes me happy.  I am finding my voice and I am being heard.

Whenever we open ourselves for new people entering our lives, we must appreciate them for the gifts that they bring, cherish the ones who have brought us to the place were we are and learn the lessons that we have been taught.  Sometimes these people leave our lives as we have released them from the power that hold on us.  Sometimes they stay and move over for the new person and sometimes, just sometimes, they have trouble growing along side of us as we spread our wings.

I am open to my new treasures in my life, and I grateful for the ones that have touched me.
