Tears of Peace
Mornings are my favorite. I set my alarm for 5:30am, wake, hopefully feeling refreshed and rested, feeling ready to tackle the new day. I sit quietly with my coffee and my books, I listen to the birds and feel the breeze as it flows through my open window. A day awaits, it's my choice of how this day will go, my attitude determines the path that unfolds.
Today, I will be grateful that I am here. I will see today for what it is, a gift, I will cherish each moment, live and love to the fullest of my capability. I know that I am here for a reason, I know that I have purpose so I will not waste the day on what I have not but will celebrate what I have.
Tears of peace flowed gently down my face as I thanked God for my journey. I have worked so hard and fought every day to be able to wake with such peace and with such gratitude. I no longer feel a darkness over me, yet I feel a light within. I am that light, shining brighter every day.
Yesterday a dear friend shared with me, her story that she told Sunday at her church. She has stage 4 lung cancer, never a smoker, an avid health nut, a kind heart and gentle spirit. She knows her story will end so much sooner than anyone ever thought, yet, she has a peace about her that I haven't seen in years. She has found her light, she has come to terms with her own soul and she isn't afraid. She has a faith in God that has given her strength to face death and face it with happiness. If she can face death with such peace, then I have to face life with such strength.
We lost touch after my divorce, after I went into hiding. I will never lose anyone again because of my own pride. I will be open to people and no matter what hardships I go through, they will always be given respect and love because I was born to be a kind heart and soul and I won't allow self pity to destroy my purpose.
Today I have tears of peace because I now see my own light.
