Enjoy the Journey

"Everyone has their own path. Walk yours with integrity and wish all others peace on their journey. When your paths merge, rejoice for their presence in your life. When the paths are separated, return to the wholeness of yourself. Give thanks for the footprints left on your soul, and embrace the time now to journey on your own." ~Unknown~

Good evening dear ones. Do you ever think about the people that are no longer in your life? Do you ever wonder why your paths separated? Do you wish they were still around? I have asked myself these questions at times and thought about those that have moved out of my journey of life. When I was younger, I'd look back and get angry for one reason or another when thinking of a person who walked out of my life. I would completely forget about any good times that were had and focus on the end of it all. As I have grown, I realize that not everyone is meant to stay in our lives. We learn lessons, move forward, or sometimes we stay stagnate while others change their path. Whatever the reason, the flow of life provides us with those we need at any give stage of our journey.

Once in a while, we are meant to walk alone and no matter who we wish were by our side, the Universe teaches us to stand on our own. For years I have faced the world on my own while longing for someone to be by my side. I had a few friends but I seldom left my house other than to go to work and I certainly didn't date. It didn't take long for me to realize that I had a lot of internal work to do. I had to take care of my mental and emotional health before moving forward with anything else. The journey has been a long one and I had to spend a few years in the darkness of my soul before venturing out to see the light again.

Since my move to SC I have found many kindred spirits. I have found warmth in the sun again and I have accepted that the darkness will always be a part of me. I am incredibly grateful for those that have crossed my path and moved on as they have taught me much needed lessons. I am also beyond grateful for those who have crossed my path and stayed as they have shown me true friendship and unconditional love. Many thanks and blessings to each and every one of them.

My loves, take care of yourselves and each other. Embrace you beautiful journey of life and take heart that any storms you may be experiencing will soon pass. Enjoy those who have joined you at this current stage and give thanks to those who have separated for lessons learned. Be Kind, Be Peace, and Be Love. Never let a day go by without letting those you love know how you feel. Yesterday is past and tomorrow isn't promised. Live and love for today. - Live - Laugh - Love - Namaste
