Beautiful day in the neighborhood, Arlington, Texas! Today's sunlight hid for six long, rainy days, and all I want to do is dance around in the sunshine. When I do, I'm sure to find new green leaves on the hydrangeas and an opened daffodil or two. Spring is coming early this year, and I find great pleasure in that.
It's been a couple of years since you've heard from me, and that's because I was on a journey, a journey to find myself. I needed time to heal and to see if anything of "Me" was still alive after my mother Dimple left this earth and graduated to Heaven. It's been over three years now since her passing, and my grief and exhaustion from care-giving are now under control. My wounds are not raw, anymore. Nor are they exposed. They are, however, still a part of me. They travel right along with me and remind me that I am stronger than I thought, that I did survive it all, and that God is mightier than I ever imagined.
For these new seasons, I am grateful. Stepping into the future now feels like stepping into the sunshine. It's warm, welcoming, and intoxicating. With the past behind me, but still inside me, I open my arms to the new season and say, "Thank you for coming. I'm ready now... Oh, yes, my friend.. it's time. Let's dance. Shall we?"
