here it is, new year's eve day. i can hardly believe that an entire year has unraveled right before my eyes. where has the year gone? the older i get the faster the time seems to go by.
as i look back over the year i have many memories, some great, some good, some not so good, and some truly stepping stones for personal growth. i am learning to move within all these moments better, learning to accept god's grace when i am inflexible and think i know best.
while it is so easy for the unpleasant memories to stay in the front of the line in my memory recall, i am reminding myself that god's plan for me is truly divine and i am exactly where i am suppose to be, not only in this moment, but in every given moment that i am alive. so as i look back over the year i smile as i recall all of my memorable experiences. each one has brought me closer to fulfilling another year in my life's journey of personal and spiritual growth. i give thanks for having so many moments to teach me how to be better a person.
as 2012 approaches, it's natural to start to feel anticipation for what is in store in the new year and to leave the unpleasantness of 2011 behind. i am gently reminded to not dwell in the past nor look forward, but rather, to live in the moment of the here and now which is the only moment where i can truly be all that i am meant to be.
i hope you have a wonderful day filled with many blessings.
god bless you all. enjoy your holiday.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post and one that I found to be so encouraging. I too, am learning how to live in the light of God's timing and not rush ahead or lag behind. We can make the plans but it is He who directs the steps. I just posted a card on my blog that was on this same theme. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI live one day at a time and find something to be thankful for every day...and I usually do...its easy when you try. Even if it is in between meltdowns!!!!!
