Chapters

"The book of life is lived in chapters, so know your page number."

Are you at a point in your life where you have many "options" but no answers?

That's how I feel. As many people know, our house is for sale and we are hoping to move back up to Ohio. Yes, I said it and meant it, we are HOPING to move. I wasn't as thrilled with the idea at first, but after spending Christmas alone (Mike, Lucy and I), I realized how much I need my family in my life and I don't want to miss anymore moments without them.
So, I'm the kind of person that makes up her mind and then does it. I don't like waiting for things. Now that I want to go, I want to go. I like that quote because it reminded me that this "Raleigh Chapter" in my life is something I need to be cherishing. My friendships, job, home, all could change soon.
I learned of a persons death today. I didn't know him personally, but prayed for him a lot. It was a sudden death and he left behind a wife and son. It's funny how death refocuses me. You would think in my line of work that I would be reminded of it daily. But I forget and end up wasting so many moments of my life. Our time here on earth is numbered. I think if I lived with a more heaven bound attitude I wouldn't have very many "bad" days. So cheers to life's adventures, the gift of time and the journey that's ahead! I love this chapter of my life!
Love Yah!
