The Gift of Time

In everyone's life, there comes a time when they need someone when they need to lean. We are not always strong 100% of the time & we all need friends & family to compliment our lives. Someone that we can call on when we get the carpet pulled out from under us. Someone to call when we cannot stand on our own & just need a shoulder to be there. Does this mean that we are weak people who are needy & are always in need of something more than ourselves to make it through?

Simply put, NO! As I stated above, we cannot be 100% all the time & sometimes we need to lean, & this does not make us any less capable or amazing than we were created to be If anything it makes us that much more human & amazing than we are already. While I was thinking about this, I was overcome with a feeling of richness. So, I thought that it was worthy of further exploration.

This all happened yesterday when I was walking & began to think about richness & about the different meanings it can have just like success. I remembered my meaning for richness & success & was instantly brought to a smile! I realized that I am richer than I had ever imagined I would be at my young age. Friendship & Family are treasures that Life bestows upon us that can be taken away at any point. This fact is why I chose to live my life ensuring that if life ended my life would continue to shine through all of the lives I have been blessed enough to touch. I know our time is limited here & I continue to try my hardest to pass on the unending happiness & love that has been shown to me. I have begun to live my life so that no matter what happens to me, I can rest with a smile & burden-free heart knowing that I have not left things unsaid or undealt with.

Living without fear of others presumptions is the most freeing thing I have ever experienced. Like the saying that those who fear death have things that they have not said, done, or expressed. I am living without that fear, because I know that the people that I LOVE know that I LOVE them like my family & all my friends. It is the most freeing feeling I have ever experienced! Knowing that everything has been said & that the people I care about know exactly how I feel is amazing. I am truly happy that the blessings I have been given have been able to shine through me & brighten the lives of those I care about deeply. I pray that the lives you touch will receive all of the blessing that you have been given.

My heart is overflowing with LOVE for you all & for the wondrous affect that you will ultimately have on the world. The affect that we have on the world is not as small as we would like to imagine. So, let the light you have been given show through you so that together we can light up the world through any darkness. For all of the things that we cannot explain or that just amaze us, give praise & thanks for another day to breath & to get one step closer to accomplishing what we were put her for. I know that you will accomplish everything that was set in your plan & am thankful that you have shined on my life. Peace, Love, & Happiness to all of you friends!!!
