growth

Apr 20, 2012

 

As I look at these daffodils, I see myself mirrored in them– closing, opening, peeking, wondering, fearing, trusting, exposing, doing what needs to be done.  In the past few years of intense life changes and challenges (job change, leaving our home and family, breast cancer, and now deployment), I am grateful for all the growing I’ve been able to do.  I feel decades older than when we left Montana for the Navy just two years ago, and there is still much more to come.  I wonder if my future holds a time of rest from all this growing?

    That is a lot of change and growth! So cool to be able to look back at your life a year ago and realize how much you have grown. It should help you to trust that what you are living in now will be the fertilizer for the growth today, so when you look back in another year you will be able to see how far you’ve come. 🙂
