Starting Over

I remind myself every year.

 

I never want to forget beauty in strength, beauty for ashes. 

 

Isaiah 61:3 “…to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair”.

 

My first home after starting over. Ten years...seems like yesterday some days, seems a hundred years ago other days.

 

One day, one step, one minute at a time.

 

I wish I knew then what I know now.

 

D, you are going to be okay.

 

 

The people you meet will change your life. 

 

This was the entrance to my apartment. Such a beautiful beginning to spring, a beautiful beginning to new life. It was so simple, my surroundings, and exceptionally peaceful. I continue to live a simple life, my best life. 

 

Peace. 

 

I pray this for each of you.
