Today I am writing this as I ride in a car. Don’t worry about an accident my spouse is driving. I am on my way to my hometown. We are meeting my son and then spending some time visiting with my family. It will be my first visit since my dad’s death. Going back brings back many memories. My hometown has not changed much and yet my dad no longer lives there. It is difficult for me to comprehend it yet. So today has many feelings for me.
In the midst of my varied thoughts I cling to the many joys that are all round me. My spouse is driving and she provides me this space to write and think and grow. My son is going to meet me in my hometown and he will bring with him more than just conversation. As I see the road signs pass me by I am reminded that life goes by fast. But in the midst of this short fast lived life there are some many blessings and joys. I am grateful that my dad lived as long as he did. I am so happy that he left me a legacy of love and devotion to family and Go.
During the month of August our Church I am asking our church to be positive. Being positive starts with positive thoughts. Join me in traveling down memory lane and seeing all the great people and experiences that have blessed your life. And yes, think on the good and best.
