Today, as I continue to reflect on my crazy week then lovely weekend and now realize that I have not blogged in almost 6 months, I know there are a lot of blessings, some small some big, to publicly share:
- for the reality that when I am empty, there is One who is stronger
- for a summer full of sensational sunsets
- for chances to see a sky full of stars
- for friends who are like family
- for colleagues who are friends
- for good music at every turn
- for prayers, received and given
- for rental cars, hotel rooms and great meals I can expense
- for my own beater car, my own apartment and sandwiches
- for nights sleeping outside
- for massages afterward
- for beaches and bicycles
- for coffee and consignment shops
- for new places to discover and favourite places to introduce to others
- for a completed degree, a timely new job and an upcoming new season of education
- for continued perks of travelling and taking in the beauty of Canada
- for the cuddles of nieces and the high-fives of nephews
- for resolution
- for hope
- for love
- for the reality that it's good to not always be strong and it's good to surrender control
