The Wheels...

....turn, they hum against the cold pavement heading West...just driving, no destination in mind...the sun has beat back the dreary early hours of morning and shines bright against the bluest of skies...thoughts turn too, they hum against the walls of my mind and the heart follows suit, beating in code.

After a short stop near beautiful Fraser Lake to check on a call, I turned around and headed back home...thoughts flying out the window to be blown away, to catch the slipstream of south-westerly winds never to return. It is with relief I leave that part of my life behind...as I drive I give thanks, I offer up gratitude and love for a God who has watched over me every step of the way.

I will never discount the lessons learned, or the knowledge gained...but I can forget the man involved. I will never give in, nor give up on the dreams and goals I have set before me.

Healing, learning and gaining ground gives grace, gives comfort and peace where there were none.

But I will give up, give in to the need to seal any stray thought of that person...'he who shall not be named.' His face to be erased with pleasure from my memories, from my heart...oh it burns, sure. Dear hearts, the path lays littered with the bones of sorrowful bygones and past fears...evidence of the work involved to move into life and love again. To see the positive, to look for the good in those near and dear to us.

The love remains...no matter...it will rest in the grave with the rest of the past. No walking, shambling zombies, just a plot of ground lovingly built to house the bits that need burying. No resurrections, no bringing back to life that which is dead and gone. I watch as flowers bloom, as greenery grows and covers with each moment of victory, of life and love flowing within and without.

The mind is a powerful tool my friends...it knows things we do not always recognize, it senses on a level we are not tapped in to, yet. But that mind of yours is a tool, to be used for your good and for the good of others...

The more kindness we give out to others, the more we will ultimately give ourselves...

The more love we share with others, the more we will ultimately give ourselves...

It is a two-edged sword...it cuts both ways, in the best of ways...what you give out, watch it return a hundred fold. Truly.

God is good...we are loved beyond compare...fearfully and wonderfully created, with love, with intent...unique each one.

Walk tall today dear hearts...Stand tall and proud in your worth...
