Close

Prompt- Close

Why is it that sometimes we feel so close and other times so far away.  I think about this with my spiritual journey.  A journey it is.  Like it is said, life is not about the destination but the journey along the way.  Often times I forget to be still and to listen.  I find God in my silence yet I often do not take the time to be still.

Even just five minutes could make a difference of constant stillness and listening.  Taking the extra steps to find faith and nourish faith even for a moment.

 This is something that I am going to work on.  I often say yes to things when I should say no.  Saying no is saying yes to something more important. The important thing could be getting closer to my dreams of being a facilitator, getting closer to God, getting closer to my husband or my children.

I shall find time each day to feel close to something or someone important to me.

Starting today.....

Prompt- BREAK


My first thought:  Heartbreak.

Usually I am one of those people who is very positive, upbeat and see the glass as half full.  However since the loss of my daddy on 3-23-13,  I feel like my life is in a constant heartbreak.  Life as I knew it changed that day and I am fighting my way back to that half full glass.

I never really thought about loss and grief so much.  Grief had never struck me directly and when it did, was my world changed forever.

How can you go from heartbreak to happiness?  This is a question I often ponder.  One thing that I have realized is that all we have is NOW.  Making memories matter.  Life is not promised and I often wish for one more day, one more piece of wisdom, one more kiss, one more pat on the back or one more I love you more.....
