So thankful …

I found myself in tears this morning as I drove to work. My tears were those of a thankful heart. This morning I had a moment of reflection on the highs and lows of my life and all the stuff in between. I reflected on all those character building moments that have molded me into the person I am today. I was filled with thankfulness to God – first and foremost – for never giving up on me (because I would have) and for those people in my life who have loved, appreciated and found value in me.

Coming out of my shell has been a truly rewarding experience.  I’ve had some pretty amazing experiences and have encountered some truly AWESOME human beings. The caterpillar has emerged as a glorious butterfly and loves every second of every day. I finally realized life has to be lived not observed. It’s a lot more fun being in the game than sitting on the bench watching.
