I've Fallen... But I can get up!

Okay, so I've not only tripped, and stumbled ... I've fallen, big time!  But I am getting up.  The last few weeks have been difficult and stressful, but now it's time to get back on track.  In doing so I must take time to reflect on how this setback has affected me and my purpose.

Most of us spend the majority of our lives trying not to trip, stumble or fall. However, what we learn from the experience when we do, is more momentous; for it is during these times that we grow the most.  So, although painful, these challenges help shape our lives and we must embrace them and trust that there is purpose for them.

I'm not alone when it comes to taking health for granted, however this experience has taught me that it can be taken away in an instant.  Jim and I are blessed in so many ways, and we now realize our health, though not what it once was, is something to cherish!  God has given us good health for a reason and we must use it to better serve humanity. 

It's also been said that outlook and attitude can make or break the best laid plans.  So, as I move forward with my blog, book and life, I shall do so with GRATITUDE.   I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to complete this project, and to continue my quest to find purpose.  

But most importantly, I Thank our Lord for my family and my friends. May God continue to bless us all, as we continue on our journey called life.
