Being Me

Got back from the gym just in time to shower and catch the sunset.  The sunset itself tonight was not spectacular, but I am able to watch it from one of the most beautiful places in the world.  Which led me to thinking.  The flowers on the tree are gorgeous.  All of the plants, bushes and trees have started to fill in from the fire last year so it feels like my house is more secluded again.  The birds are chirping away.  And today was a great day.

There are a few things in my life I would change if I could.  But if I could be any person in the whole world, I would be me.  To be able to say that in all truth and sincerity is pretty amazing.  I wish more people could feel this way.  There is not one person I would rather be, not another life I would rather live, not another place I would rather dwell.  I really love almost everything about my life right now.

The situation I used to not write about has been really good for about two weeks now.  I am cautiously hopeful it will continue as it is.  The kids love me more than ever, and I have developed relationships with even the toughest of them.  The church members here are so kind, thoughtful, generous and caring.  I have friends here whom I have grown to really love.  They come from all walks of life and they all have something I can learn from.

Today I am so grateful to be me.  So grateful that of all of the people in the world, God chose me to be in this place, at this time, with these beautiful people.  Sometimes I don´t feel worthy of all God has given me.  But I know that is the enemy whispering in my ear.  God wants me to receive from Him, with gratitude and joy, all He has blessed me with.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me.
