Gaining Perspective

There are things that happen in our lives, that alter the way that we think. Sometimes they are BIG and sometimes they are small, but the completely change the direction of our lives. They make us stop at think, they help us to remember to be grateful for what we have, and more importantly who we have. And life continues on. We fall back into routines, go on about our daily lives, forgetting to stop and remember. To stop and think. For Sidnei and I, it has been almost seven months that we have been back together. Already there are times when we grate one another's nerves and forget about how much we longed to be together. How much we longed to have the opportunity to simply be together.

Why am I saying all this? Today I ran across Stephanie Nielson's story. Please if you have a little time, go and read her story. I am reeling, thinking and remembering about how moments and instances change the directions of our lives. I am also recommitting myself again to remember the things which I am truly grateful for, to remembering how quickly the direction of our lives can turn, and to live in this moment, as happy as I can be no matter what the circumstances...simply because we can and we deserve.

Thinking of you all and sending my love your way.
