A Winding Road


For the second year in a row, am going to walk a labyrinth this evening as a healthy step into the New Year.

I invited a friend to join me.  His response wasn’t that different from mine last year – “I’d get lost in the maze!” A year ago, I didn’t know the difference between a maze and labyrinth either!

A year ago, I didn’t know a LOT of things!  And still don’t…but picked up a couple experiences along the way.

But, there’s more to his response – more to what I’ve learned – more behind the curtain, as there usually is in life and double-entendres!

One can’t get lost in a labyrinth.

One path in, one path out.  Like life…

And yet we often make the same mistake thinking life is a maze in which you can get lost or stuck.

But, hopefully along the way, we discover life is more like a labyrinth with a single path to follow.  It just takes honesty, open-mindedness and willingness to find it.

And when I do, it brings peace and freedom!

May I continue to remain teachable, by God’s grace alone…

Living through my feelings


A friend checked in on me today and asked how I was doing.

I told him “Doing well. Some sadness this week but living through it.”

He asked me about the sadness. I told him it was about losses: house/home, relationship. I’m grieving stuff that either became more definite this week or about which I am finally allowing myself to feel sad. Some events that happened this week brought these to the forefront to feel.

So it’s healthy living life on life’s terms.

Just new for this addict. 🙂
