WHEN PEOPLE LEAVE YOUR LIFE
Today on my way in to work I started thinking about some
people who chose to leave my life and the lives of my children. The first couple of years after this
happened, I admit it bothered me. It
made me sad. I finally decided that all
I could do was accept and respect their choice and move on.
While I was roaming around those memories, the song "He
lifts me up" came on the radio. I
started thinking about how I have been lifted up during this past 15 years
without them in my life. I have been
blessed with friends coming into my life who are like family. Men and women. Older and younger. When I need them, they are always there for
me. I have a beautiful woman who is only
5 years older than me who calls me her daughter. It makes my heart so full. My children have always been the center of my
life and they are even more so now as they grow into adults.
I thought, it's true that I have lost those 3 people from my
life. But look what I have in
return. Brothers and sisters, a mother,
friends who know the true meaning of friendship. And I have a rock solid relationship with my
kids.
Sometimes we look at what we have lost rather than what we
have gained. My life is overflowing with
blessings and love. Don't waste a day
thinking or mourning for something that was.
Spend your time thinking about what is.
Open your heart and life up to the possibilities of the blessings that
can come to you when you stop trying to relive the past. Move into the now and see what has come into
your life that maybe, just maybe, you would have missed out on if others hadn't
left your life.
And then take a big ole' breath and exhale while you say,
"I am truly blessed". Because
you are.
