I turned a new leaf in the blank pages of my life’s book yesterday, and marveled at how wonderful the emptiness felt—no trying to rush to fill it up; no regrets for what was written there, because there was still nothing. Only pure, white SPACE.
I own that space now, the part of my life that yearned to be free, and free to write, and do, and be.
I’m living that dream now.
Yesterday marked the beginning of it—closing one chapter, and beginning another. And then, as if by serendipity, I was invited to a VSO event for Filipino volunteers around the world. I stood, talking to two young Filipinos--a doctor from MSF on my right, who was on his way to South Africa, and on my left, a volunteer who had just gotten back from below 10 degrees in Mongolia that morning. They had come back from untold adventures.
And I realized: our world is as big as we dream it can be. Love is as much as we give it. I met people who were reaching out in their own small way, and I felt as if they were blessing me, by asking me to partake of that night. They were writing lines in my newly turned page, marking what would be a day to remember.
Today, I am grateful
For a new start
For New Beginnings
Happy Endings
Fine Transitions.
Today is a milestone in my life
When Life happened
Just as it was meant to be.
Happiness is mine, because I let it
Perfection is yesterday’s tomorrow
I bask in the now
The fullness of now
Not knowing in full
Not needing to understand
Just being where I am today
And that…
Is what makes me grateful.
