Here I am

 

 

listening to the rain

 

Knowing Abby and Joe will be driving from New York today.

 

I found a card in cleaning out a box.

 

A birthday card

 

It was unsigned

 

Wishing me a happy birthday and adding hope that I would find what I was looking for.

 

I'm still not sure what I am looking for, but I sure know what I have found.

 

I found love from so many people.

 

I found a passion for living that I did not know I was capable of.

 

I found that cancer makes you stronger than you ever thought possible.

 

I found that not worrying what others think is a much better way to go through each day.

 

I found that money is nice, but it does not make a good substitute for being involved.

 

I found that the amount of stuff I have is too much and has nothing to do with who I really am.

 

I found that some people cast shadows and others cast light.

I prefer those light people, but sometimes the shadowed ones really need some of our light.

An unlit candle needs a spark to burst into flame.

 

 

I found that when you open up there are blessings.

And pain, heart changing pain.

Searing, its not fair pain.

But even in loss, there were blessings.

Knowing Andrew changed me.

 

I found that babies and kids and teens and adults and the elderly can all bring blessings if we take the time to see.

 

I found sunrise and sunsets will happen whether we see them or not.

 

I found that being cynical really serves no purpose and is actually a very selfish place to spend time.

 

I'm still looking, but goodness, I have found so much.

 

The biggest thing is that I found God and Grace ,,,,,well they both happen to the unlikely. They happen to us all.

 

Much love friends.

 

I hope you find what you are looking for.

And that wish comes from me

And I will sign my wishes.

 

Blessings, Teresa
