"Your past doesn't define what you are going to be. It's ok to look back in the rearview mirror, but don't stare. You can learn from your history, but don't let it define you." ~Jim in Almost Home by Ryan and Kelley
I remember watching a sunrise in my rear view mirror one year, gasping at the sheer beauty of the colours that exploded across the prairie sky. My eyes were focused on the behind, when suddenly it began to rain. I looked forward and that was when I received the gift. Right there in front of me was a spectacular rainbow. Tears filled my eyes. I had been in reality hanging onto something precious and beautiful in life and could not seem to let go of the past. The rainbow symbolized that if I stopped clinging and looked forward, the future had beauty waiting for me, too. I just had to keep my eyes on what was ahead of me.
As you enter this New Year, what do you need to let go of so that you can receive an equally amazing gift?
Peace,
Suzanne
