Life has a way of circling back around it seems. It is never short of transitions, possibilities for growth, and the joys and anxieties of the unknown.
I have been blessed to experience many kinds of love. |
This year I have been blessed to live in a house with close friends, the Girls' House with an always open door. I have not experienced such a sisterhood, something so akin to family. The friendships were formed quickly and with much love. These friendships will last a lifetime. These friendships are beautiful and whole. I love you Hope and Christa.
This year I have been blessed to find a man that I truly care about, that I love. While I enjoyed my romps prior, being with him has been truly wonderful. Our humor, our quiet nights reading together, our adventures have all drawn together to create a treasured relationship and welcome addition to my future.
This year I have been blessed to experience loss. A dear friend and kindred spirit has experienced pain, yet come to find peace. Her sparks of creativity, humor, and joy ignited flames in everyone around her. I am happy to have her flame live on in me. I love you Sarah.
This year I have been blessed to realize that I want to teach. My AmeriCorps position at the Audubon Conservation Education Center has been so enriching. I have built connections with the people, the community, the land. From this term I have made the choice to go back for my teaching license and Masters in Elementary Education.
This year I have been blessed to experience transitions. Transitions cause a rise in anxiety and a continual state of mulling and considering in me. Marked change without much for me to control.
It is as though when presented with too many opportunities and options, I become overwhelmed. This year with my transitions I want to carry grace and openness. I want to leave and questions and fear to make room for openness and hard work.
This year is far from over. This just seems to be a place of great transition,of a marked change. Time for reflection gives me the confidence to move forward with a better sense of control, of direction. My blessings are great and I intend to flourish from them.
