Blessed

As I watch through the window and see my kids playing outside with Devin, that one word sums up how I feel. Listening to their excited chatter and happy smiles warms my heart and I glow with love toward them. I am oh, so blessed!

The rain has been coming for days now, and as the leaves flutter, so the seasons too have gracefully changed. Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Fall and Spring, they are so close to a tie, I never can tell which really is my favorite, usually whatever one is closest at hand. The leaves are beginning to turn and the lean, tall trees grow so closely together it is impossible to see the city beyond. Virginia is so beautiful right now... And all of it is within my reach!

Subtle, yet significant changes have occurred within my heart, and the life blood surges more freely through my veins. Interesting, that by simply changing ones outlook life can be so different. I am still doing all the same things, yet I feel lighter, happier, more grateful. I feel like I am wearing rose colored glasses and everything I see is beautiful and wonderful. My view was warped before, and now, rose colored or not, I feel as if my view is clearer, like I am finally seeing things as they really are, and wondering if it has really been like this all along, and how could I have missed it?

I am so grateful. 

So here is my blogging toast, to finding the blessings that await us each and every day! And to conference! To discovering our true identity and to living. To greater peace within and to becoming what God wants us (me) to be!
