A grateful Friday :) 7.31.2015

Happy Friday…

It’s a beautiful Friday.   I have a day filled with fun plans…a breakfast, farmer’s market, a hike.   I was lying on the couch thinking about the past few weeks.  I was thinking about the moments that build and build, one morsel at a time, into the minutes and hours and days that make up our lives. 

Looking over the past few weeks, there have been some hard moments.   And, of course, isn’t that part of life? 

               The hard moments that reveal the soft ones?

Today, on this beautiful day, I feel overwhelmingly grateful for these revelations.   In just a matter of a few short weeks, those morsels have been building into those moments of life.  I have been shown those soft moments right here in my front yard…and my back yard. 

Anyone who knows me knows that for me-

           Life isn’t happenstance. 
           Life isn’t coincidence.
           Life isn’t maybe. 

For me-
         Life is a chain of connections …
          and for every link of disconnect, there is a link of reconnect. 

While I feel a sadness for the disconnects, I feel immensely grateful for the reconnects—those links that have been holding my hand, listening to my words, and for my new connections, the links who have appeared into my life right when I needed them…right when my family needed this new chain.  

When you put it out there…
Here it is. 

Grateful…

Happy Friday.  J
