Life hasn’t always been easy. There have been ups and downs. Sometimes the downs were so low that I never thought I would survive, and at some moments I thought, I didn’t even want to. Fortunately though, I have always hung in there. I always believed that tomorrow was a second chance, a new opportunity for something better.
Now, I think I am in that second chance, and I could not be happier. So when I look at the quote by Nishan Panwar, I think, they just may be onto something there. Indeed, I will not take my current gifts and blessings for granted. I will seize them as they come and savor every moment.
As I write this scheduled post, I am awaiting my wonderful boyfriend’s arrival. Tonight, we are off to watch the sunset from a mountaintop view. After that, we are walking a 7-mile Christmas light display in honor of a children’s charity. Years ago, I never imagined my life would be as it is today: blogger/photographer/home owner/Reservist/government civilian/lover of life. I have more than I ever asked for and I am thankful. Now, off to enjoy my gifts:)
I hope you look around today and see your gifts and cherish them too.

So true, Michelle. As I’ve said before, I’m happy to read this and realize how you’ve pushed through adversity and made it to the other side. There are always more battles to be fought, but you can do it.

Agreed. I wish life was free of challenges but that’s just not realistic. And, the challenges just make the good so much more sweeter.
