To Love...To Be Loved...All Choices

I learned very early in life that love is not a feeling, it is a decision. Thanks to my parents and their relationship. We decide who we let in and who we let walk away. I know that I have made some decisions that are going to be challenging but I am not afraid. I have done the homework and I know that it is for a lifetime. I could walk in this world alone, which I have done for some time and done quite successful. But I recently choose to go it together. Isn't it easier when you have someone to laugh with and cry with. Someone to go to bed with and wake with. Someone to wipe your tears of happiness and sadness. It just seems easier. Oh I am very aware that I always had someone on my side. Someone I know who never leaves. It is through him that I could live again and hope for a new future.

Life has provided me with many twists and turns. As long as I continue down this journey, I will stumble and fall but I do know how to get back up. Attitude is 90%. I have seen this mostly recently through my father. Faced with difficult things but decided right out of the gate that this will not get me down. Many great examples, many seeds planted in my life to know that there is hope in all. I feel good where I stand. I feel confident in my choice. Together choices made...forever! Amen.
