Welcome to a new found freedom!

There’s nothing I have to do right now
I KNOW luxury in my life
I feel freedom in my SOUL
Elements of peace and inspiration grace my days

My body, my mind, my heart, my soul are well
For this, I am so very grateful
For past years in learning and discovery
for present days and those to come, I am grateful

Grateful knowing how very much I have accomplished
Grateful seeing what more I would enjoy doing for myself and others
Grateful in the awareness that I am loved by All That Is
Grateful for choices I get to make on any given day

I’ve paid my dues, “done” my time
Got myself through college and graduate school
I raised a family, became a professional
Got to love my family, my friends, my students, my clients

I have loved my life and it has loved me back
I’ve been touched by Grace and Blessed by God
forever finding meaning and miracles in my path
I have learned to cherish each new sunrise and each new breath

Today, I can travel to far away places
Make plans to lunch with friends near and far
Choose how much to do, when to relax, how long to sleep
Eat what and when I like, create and live my possible dreams

Figuring out how to grow and love myself in this new found freedom
is a challenging experience I welcome and respect
Realizing how precious and delicious every decision I make can be
is a richness I’m appreciating and learning to accept

Who could have imagined I’d be writing of these things
Desiring to share and expose them with the world
You’d think I’d have enough to do basking in the sunshine
attending my garden, painting, knitting, singing, dancing, making new friends

Yet passion for writing in and about this newly found freedom
stirs a deep soul inspiration in me to voice and to share the richness and the blessings
present in newly discovered feelings of joy and gratitude that come with living, owning
and making each new day and night uniquely mine in this journey of time called LIFE!
