Waiting for Spring

“Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.” ~Sarah Ban Breathnach~

I've been going through a dry patch in my life for some years now, although it's actually very damp where I live. I'm determined now to live my dreams. The truth is I'm just finding my niche now. I'm always working towards betterment in every aspect of my life, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. I feel I am in no place to judge others, that's something that I've learned the hard way. I accept and love all the people in my life exactly the way they are, the good, the bad and the ugly. I believe we are all on our own paths and life is hard a lot of the time. You never know what someone else is going through in their life. When you get that sad looking cashier, upset waitress, or miserable client that doesn't smile at you, don't take it personally. Like my sister Sara always says "It's never about you." I feel blessed to have such a wonderful close knit family. With all our trials and errors and lives that have run like an insane Soap Opera at times, we still always find our way back to each other. I am so grateful for each and everyone of my family members. Love them all:o) Everyone needs someone whether it be family, adopted family, extended family or just some really good friends. We all need that sense of connection and belonging, knowing that we are never totally alone, although it feels like it sometimes. We need to have that unconditional love and understanding, a nonjudgmental shoulder to cry on, this is what really counts in life. Not material belongings, but real love. I've been missing that feeling of connection lately. I talk to everyone on the phone quite a bit, but it's just not the same. I live so far away from my family. I miss them very much. I'm hoping to move closer to them one day soon. Hopefully my son and I can go visit this Spring and Summer. I want to see everyone! 

Louise L. Hay is one of my favourite authors; I have read a lot of her books. She is very inspiring. Positive thinking is what I'm always working on. Here is one of her books:
