I was warm-heartedly reminded yesterday of a long section of my life’s journey. Life is what you make of it. Oh, it has sad times, heart-wrenching times, tough times, challenges, successes, trials, losses, and wins..but no matter what happens in life, it is how we handle it.
Yesterday was my 69th birthday, and it is hard to believe I am 69 yrs old. As the day progressed, on my Facebook page I received special birthday greetings, each one from someone who I have laughed with, talked with, shared special moments with, and created memories with. I received some calls, and texts from family and friends. This photo represents some of the stops along the journey where some of these people shared the same path on our journeys of life. In addition to these road signs, there are places I lived, family, and the church I attend not represented in this photo, but they are all a part of my life journey.
I can’t even begin to explain the heart-warming this brought- family, teachers, my Pastor, mentors, co-workers, neighbors, and friends, all are people who truly mean something to me, people who helped me be who I am. And I guess I felt this because it opened so many memories of times that I have shared with each of these people. Ya kind of know those times are there, but it’s like they are in the back vault of my mind at times. And seeing the people’s comments, that they took a moment to say Hi, well it unlocked the vault and reminded me of all the stops along the journey of life.
No matter where I worked, or who I shared time with, I was remembering the love of working in various roles in nursing, remembering various experiences in life: and in each moment I made it a point to make it the best each and every day. Yes, remembering what we’ve shared brings a smile to my heart. No matter what acquaintances I have, I can look back and remember times at school, times at various places of employment, times of hard work, times when I was a stay-at-home mom, times shared with others at church, and through all the various memories there were sometimes challenges, times of fun, comfort, tears, and smiles. And in the solitude, I really have no regrets.
So I dedicate this post to all the people who have shared time with me along this road of life. I feel blessed, and thankful for so much.
Until later, take care… Mrs Justa alias CIndy
