Standing on a Rock

To be half a century plus is wonderfully exciting, because I haven't lost any of my past, and am free to stand in the rock of all that the past has taught me as I look towards the future. ~ Madeleine L'Engle

With my birthday gift to myself looming next week I am getting excited. I have had an amazing life and I am so grateful for so much. To be half a century is wonderfully awesome. I take the gifts of all those 50 years and am so blessed that I do feel as if I am standing on solid rock most days.

In just over a week, I will be boarding a cruise ship to head to Alaska with a friend from BC. This is the part of celebrating my birthday where I surround myself with beauty and walk with God in Creation. This is a trip I have wanted to do since my time with Sojourners community and I saw Judy’s breath-taking photos. It is never too late to live out your dreams. Hang on to the valuable lessons of the past but move towards the future. Live the life you want now. There may not be a second chance.

Peace,

Suzanne
