So as I sit here and ponder the thoughts of my life after 43 years I wonder what the purpose of my life is truly meant to accomplish, feeling as if I am at the bottom and trying to work my way up, but never succeeding or gaining any ground. I am reminded of conversations in which people have stated that "your life gets better with age" and that "40 is the new 30, and 50 the new 40 etc.. and that you become more aware of the meaning of life and peace in life as you get older", Well, I wish that whoever those "people" were, they would have handed out a "step by step" guide!!
But then the other day as...
I was watching an interview with the author, J.K. Rowling, she said something that resonated with me, "Love wins....in the end love wins...when a person dies the love doesn't shut off like a faucet...it stays with us...it is an amazing resilient part of us." She also said "Love is the most powerful thing of all", and it just hit me...why am I looking for something else, something better, bigger, more profound?? I have it all right in front of me, my husband, who loves me,my faith in God, my children, family, home, health....why do I feel the need to look for more, for some spectacular incident that will supposedly open my eyes to the "meaning of life"? When the "spectacular incident" has always been right in front of me, right within my reach, it has been here all along...the love and beauty of which I give to others.
