Day 4/365 my gratitude today is for lessons. If I knew all
of the tough lessons that I would face in my life before they happened, I would
have thought “no way, I can’t get through that” but, I have gotten through each
one and every difficult challenge has brought beauty to my life in ways I could
have never imagined. 5 years ago today my life was derailed professionally and
I did not realize how much of my identity was wrapped up in “what I did”. After
3 days of being curled up in a ball a spiritual experience came to me and my
faith returned and I remembered that “I get what I need” even if I don’t
understand it at first. I trusted in the process and looked for the meaning
within the experience. That lesson was meant as gift to me and immediately took
me off the wrong path and set me about following the path I am still on now.
When I ended up in college at the age of 48, I knew I was exactly where I was
supposed to be and I love my life today and I am so grateful for the lessons
that while painful at the time, are opportunities for growth. Gratitude for
lesson.
