(It's been so long since I've looked at my blogger dashboard, that I'm only now realizing that I had never published this. If anyone is still reading, so sorry for the delay. Here's how this story ended:)
I'm the worst at goodbyes, for so many reasons...
Sometimes I think I should have titled this blog Intentional Living.
That's how I spent each day last year. I would wake up early and research what was going on in my community and beyond. I would plan for the day and days ahead. I would venture outside of my comfort zone, and try some terrifying (and not so terrifying) things. Not everyone would label my activities an "adventure," but they were to me.
I had to stop worrying and wondering how others were living, because I had to start living myself. I couldn't be concerned with what others thought of me. It was freeing.
My husband still comments on our magical 2014. All the fun we had, the trips we took, the ways we invested in our community. In fact, I've repeated a few things, and he's been joining me. It's been more than delightful to have him enjoy life with me and journey by my side.
You have been a joy to journey with. Many of my now most cherished memories have been a privilege to share with you, and your kind comments and well wishes kept me pressing forward through some of the most difficult days of my life.
I hope that you were encouraged to try something new and exciting. I hope that you, too, stepped beyond your comfort zone and into your own "uncharted territory." If not yet, it's not too late. I would love to follow along on your adventures and cheer you on, should you decide to start a blog of your own. Until then...
The LORD bless you, and keep you;
The LORD make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
The LORD lift his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
With so much love,
xoxo - sharon
