Peaceful Moments

My Favorite Quote About Life

happiness is a journey, not a destination...
for a long time it seemed to me
that life was about to begin --real life,
but there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business,
time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
at last it dawned on me
that these obstacles were my life.
this perspective has helped me to see
there is no way to happiness.
happiness is the way.
so treasure every moment you have
and remember that time waits for no one.

It's been a while since I have written. I have been working towards understanding the loss of my mom. I have come to the conclusion that there is never understanding, there is only acceptance of the fact -- several weeks back I went to a ladies church retreat, the Sunday morning service was outside, it was a gorgeous day as the speaker began to talk my eyes drifted towards two trees in the clearing just above her head. There was a bird, it looked like an eagle to me, it was soaring -softly --floating and dancing above, since that moment, I have felt a peace I have not felt before that day, I know it was a sign to me that things were going to be alright, I was going to be ok.
