Day 19,144
That's right, I have been breathing on this earth for 19,144 days. I am thankful for each and every one of them. Really, I am.
All is not well on the home front, the extended home front actually. Last week was a week for the records, sadly. Can't go into details, sorry, some things are better left un-blogged. But I want to remember that during this time, I have been peaceful, and I know it's only because of lessons I've learned in the deep end. I can't change things that have already happened, I can't change the way things will happen. I can only do my best to manage how I respond to people and events. My best bet is simply to hide in the heart of God. I know I won't be alone there. I know some other people I love are hidden deeply there also. I pray God will be gentle with them.
So, 19,144 days is a good thing. If I am fortunate enough to claim 19,145, maybe I'll be back tomorrow to say so.
*** I heard an interesting saying yesterday. You can either be born twice and die once, or you can be born once and die twice. Something to think about.
