A new chapter

Ahh another year older! It feels great because changes are good things!!! Not that another year older makes me feel any different. Changes have however been happening both in my head and in my life/job. Well there a lot of changes and I am so good with everything that is happening. More later on that, I just want to say thank you for all the support here. I have been a bit “quiet” lately because I have really wanted to work through some webs and life is really REALLY working out. It is strange how sometimes the chaos can make your head foggy, but all is calming. It always does I think. I am constantly looking for lessons and messages and I have been receiving it all loud and clear. I am a stronger, wiser, more capable person then I have been. And really the only thing that is different, is I’m actually feeling like I have the power to try and succeed and the courage to take it all in…. enjoying and pushing myself through the challenges ahead. Oh yes, I am going to finish my nutrition course and begin the next chapter of my life! Healing, helping, progressing and taking care of me, as I have done for so many over the years. I would not, if it were even possible, have ever changed a thing. I am so thankful for having the ability to be their for so many elderly folk in their time of need. You become a different (for the better) kind of a person when you tend to others and do not resent it or fear it, but rather you marvel in how precious life is and how there is an end to everything. For me, learning this is power. Endings are not bad, they are just new beginnings.

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

    I have always admired your gift of taking care of the elderly… but today I admire what you have learned from it.

    I love this blog! Happy birthday my sweet friend. You seem more at ease these days. I can relate to what you’re saying about the fog clearing…do you remember that a few weeks ago I was down in the dumps? I hadn’t been that sad in a long time, but working through that period of sadness has made me a stronger, wiser and more confident person. You’re right, it’s the calm after the storm. As cliche as it sounds…what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger! I am very happy for you Jenn! Thrilled for you!! Happy birthday!
