grace

im afraid my soul has been withering up in tandom with the world around me, but today i felt alive. i felt ablaze with fall colors beating through my blood. i will be the first to admit i would love to emerge for spring, summer and fall and hibernate through the long, dark winter.

i have allowed myself to hibernate this year, becoming a spectator in my own life. it has taken hibernation for me to recognize that life if not supossed to be how i planned it, but how i plan to respond to life.

i can only pray gratitude for the many, many people around me who exemplifiy this and respond to life with gratitude, humility and grace.
