Such a Wonder….

Hello, friends….it’s been a little bit since I’ve written…you know that thing called life…well, it sometimes gets a little crazy and we forget to take a deep breath….that’s what this entry is…my deep breath and wonder at this journey of life that I am on. I bet, if you took a deep breath, you too, would wonder at your own life!! Just remember to breath….

Have you ever just looked at someone and wished you could have THEIR life? It’s okay to admit it….I have, most definitely! I have always wondered what it would be like to have a shit ton of money, the big, gorgeous house, tons of kids, the husband by my side….you know, all the fairytale stuff….but tonight, as I write this, I have come to the realization that MY life is exactly where it is supposed to be…I am living my own fairytale because I choose to be happy, to be present in MY life, I choose me.

When I look back on my life experiences, bad and good, I realize that those moments are the very things that helped form who I am today. I embrace them and I hold them close because they are my fairytale episodes that help me to still see the wonder that is life. It’s basic human nature to lay our focus on the negative things that have happened because it is safer that way. If we focus on all the good, we might feel selfish or feel that it is owed to us. I say, focus on the bad AND the good. The saying “God never gives us more than we can handle” comes to my mind. And anyone who knows me, knows that I am not all that religious….just ask my mom about me falling asleep in temple! But, I digress, our strength comes from life….and yes, God only gives us what we can handle. When things happen and we think we cannot go on or take another thing to heart, we find a strength hidden deep in our being. Sit back and see the wonder that is YOUR life….the wonder that is YOU as you discover your sense of self….always grasp your life with a sense of wonder.

I am rich with life, I am rich with love, I have my fairytale life because it is my experience and continues to awe me with wonder as I move from one journey to another. I embrace life with a wonder of all that there has been, will be, and IS….what do you do with YOUR wonder?

Such a wonder……
