    Lynda reads her blessing

     

     

    Lynda's Blessing:

    Today I am thankful for eyes that have come to see that life will not always be easy.
    That road will bend.
    Those lines will blur.
    That tides will rise.
    And that storms will come.
    I am thankful for those lights that took the form of humans.
    Who shone into me when I was at my lowest.
    Who were not afraid of sadness. Or darkness.
    Or the many layers that wove themselves around me and made me hard to understand.
    Or reach. Or even hard to love sometimes.
    I'm thankful for skies that change color.
    For paths that change direction.
    And for seasons that remind me that we are all just one breath away from a new beginning.
    I am thankful, knowing that kindness still exists.
    That the truth is out there.
    That faith can move mountains.
    And that I was made for every last bit of it.

    ~ 'Thankful' by Ullie Kaye
