Journey...
Unfinished...
I love the simplicity of these two words, blended together. I love the idea that we are all on a journey, but also the idea that it isn’t complete or polished. We have not yet arrived and that there is still more to go. There is room for growth, there is room for change… there is even room for a complete reversal of direction!! Also, that it isn’t always easy and there might be hurdles along the way.
Hope...
To me, it means that things can always improve. For so many years my health spiralled down into pain and exhaustion and then I found new ways to first, cope and manage, and then to improve. And since I started taking those first steps in a different direction, my life slowly has changed and even has radically changed in some areas. At the core, many of my values are the same, and many of my struggles still are in the same area… but I have grown through many things, I have moved forward on this journey… and I have learned so much.
Encouragement...
I know that I am in one spot in this day, and at this time, however, I can look back at the past, and see all the steps that I have taken, and it slowly becomes my guide for the future. Every time I took a small positive step, there have been results. Some were small. Some were incredibly small and even hard to notice, but they are still there. And some were huge, and life changing. So as I look forward, and find one more thing to change, I am encouraged that there will be a result, and that the result will be good.
The other thing, that I love about this phrase, is that it applies to so many different facets of my life...
Just as I am not in the same place with my chronic health struggles, pain and fatigue, I am also not in the same place in so many areas of my life… everything from emotional, mental and spiritual to even financial and physical. It doesn’t seem to matter which area of my life I plan to address today, I know that there is going to be a positive result down the road.
My future journey-I think about this a lot these days...
I am already in my early 50s, and an empty nester. And I still have so many things I want to accomplish, and so many things I want to see.
I am not done yet!!
I am barely started, because I am on a Journey…
and it is indeed...
