HAS IT NOT BEEN A WHILE?!

In my last post, over a year ago, I said I was going to start blogging again, but staying true to my character, I did not follow through (haha!)

I have been thinking about coming back to blogging for a while now, but did not initiate. It's not that I have nothing to write about, in fact I often think about things to write, just that ... life gets in the way – yeah that's the excuse I am sticking to.

I'll try harder, not for anyone else (because c'mon, my blog has little to no traction), but I need to keep my writing skills sharp. I can't afford to keep it dormant.

So what's been up in my life in the past year or so?

Count your blessings

But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if that means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness.
The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.

Paulo Coelho (By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept)

 

I've always believed that love is the seed of every single deed. So, take love where you find it & count your blessings.
