I clicked on my blog this afternoon and was struck by the fact that it has been five long months since I had created a new post. The one before this was in anticipation of the Christmas holidays. I sat here and reflected about these last 5 months and thought about all that had transpired since then. Really? I was worried about what the cat would do to the Christmas tree? Looking back I almost laughed at the trivialness of that.
So much can happen in a short time to change our perspective and our priorities. I won't elaborate on those changes and events. It is enough to say that I look at what's important to me in a whole new light.
My three "F"s are even dearer to me ... Family, Faith and Friends. "Things" are less so.
I also learned that I'm stronger than I thought I was. I can do hard things. I have always been quite happy doing what was comfortable and not venturing out of my comfort zone. I don't always enjoy it, but now I know I can do that which does not come easy.
Not everything in the last few months has been hard or a lesson. There have been lovely surprises, tender mercies and hilarity strewn along the way. This is what life is about.
And, like it always does, Spring came along just in time.
