Im currently sitting in my living room and sipping peppermint tea all awhile gazing outside and becoming lost in fairy lights dancing in the wind. Im contemplating my life... admiring my life.. but also noticing challenges in my life... like the aching of an injured body and thinking back to the time when I was a state athlete and fit as a fiddle. Im not saying that Im old but Im feeling that Ive aged... Im feeling the aching of a body that has lived.... that has seen much adventure, happiness, sadness, love, heartache, achievement, failure, freedom.... freedom. I love the word freedom. It sits well with my soul. Freedom of thought, voice, action and expression. Ive rarely felt restricted in this life. Freedom is something that Ive always had and is something that I will always have (even if that means fighting for it). So... youre probably thinking now if I have a point to my dribble, to my blogging of thoughts to a thousand odd people on my page... and the answer is yes, yes I do. On the occasions when I look back on my life (which is about once a year, and never at specific times like a birthday or anniversary) and reminisce about friends lost or projects finished, one thing that always rears its very pretty head is a sense of contentment... that I actually am living a good life, a true life... a real life. So thank you to my aching body and constant challenges (of which there are always many.) It is because of you, the tough stuff that allows me to appreciate my life.... and I LOVE it!! I hope you all can find such peace in the aching times too. Blessed be
