Gratitude 10.11.08

Welcome back to my blog. I’ve taken a bit of an unintentional hiatus from writing and am hopeful in the next few days and weeks to get back in the habit of sharing my life with you, my loyal friends and readers.

I have written recently about how grateful for my involvement in the Magic City Choral Society. I’ve been blessed in so many ways in the nearly two months since I walked into that very first rehearsal. I’m most grateful for the friendships and relationships I’d have never had the opportunity or courage to develop otherwise. I am grateful for the music which is now stirring in my life, both figuratively and literally.

I am grateful for the new love in my life, Lane. Ours is a relationship that is at the beginning stages, but we have a connection that seems as though we’ve know one another for years. It’s as though we are two pieces to a puzzle and we just fit. Who knows where the road may lead us, but the timing feels right for me to open up and give my heart to someone who will take care of it. For those who do not know, we met as part of the Choral Society.

I’m grateful for the love and support of my dear friends. Even if they think I’ve absolutely lost my mind, these people who truly have my best interests at heart have voiced opinions and concerns, then wished me well. I could ask for nothing less.

I’ve always thought I didn’t have a lot of friends. However, I am reminded on an almost daily basis, whether it is in person or through my growing list of friends on facebook, I’m truly blessed with friends both near and far. After years of feeling like a misfit of sorts, it feels good to reach the point in my life where I feel like I’ve arrived at this peaceful place in my life. I’m grateful for the wisdom that comes with adulthood and the connection I’ve made with people from my past, people with whom I’d never had expected to make a connection.

We, as a people are at a terribly difficult time in our country economically, and certainly that economic difficulty has not just passed me by, but I’m grateful for the minor blessings in my life that are allowing me to get through.

Here’s my confession: I’ve missed writing my blog. I’ve missed sharing the deeply personal events of my life with you through my blog. The last few weeks of my life have been an like an extreme roller coaster, in each and every area of my life-love, finances, and the future. I’m trying to keep my thoughts grounded in here and now. Dreams I’d long buried are coming back to the top of my mind. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I discover the beauty that my tomorrows will hold for me. Thanks for reading. My blog will be back in full force within in a few days.

Good to have you back, dear friend. The reason for the "vacation" were mostly fabulous ones; full of love and grace.

AMEN! Though I have missed reading your writing, I am so happy to hear that you are so happy. I knew that the choral society would be a good thing for you and just look at what good has come from it! It puts a smile on my face to read such positive thoughts from you!
