This week I am honored to share a post from a very special guest, MY MOM. She is also very talented (if I do say so myself). She hasn't explored her creative side in quite some time...it's HER turn now...WATCH OUT!!!
You’re born, you become a child and then as fast as you blink
you’re a teenager and realize that your life as you know it has turned upside
down. You moved on because, the space you’ve occupied has been filled with
others to share…you live and learn.
You’ve become a young lady and mother it
was your calling. Your child is the most beautiful little person you’ve ever
seen, motherhood does not come with instructions so you do what you can…you
live and learn. Through those years you
have happy times, laughter,
tears and sorrow….you live and learn. You then have another beautiful child you
have good times, tears and sorrows…you live and learn.
Through the years the union you considered
solid and depended on, prayed for and at times cried for has rescinded into
memories that at times made you happy, and angry. These memories you take with
you. You look into your soul and realize
that the time has come for new beginnings….you live and learn.
The new beginnings will be a surprise
because you don’t know what it has in store for you. Yesterday was the past, today is the present
tomorrow will be a gift. The new beginnings will lift your spirit it will be an
opportunity to rejoice…you live and learn.
