I began a journey 8/7/2009. 

Along this journey I met someone who I had forgotten existed. 

I had forgotten that they had a beautiful smile.  They were blessed pretty brown eyes.   A funny sense of humor.  Loved to crack jokes.  They had fun and didn't always take life so serious.   They had dreams and passions they wanted to fulfill.  They love the Lord.  They love their family. 

As I celebrate being on this journey. 

I realized I FOUND ME. 

I am celebrating today being SINGLE and CELIBATE. 

The time went by so fast. 

My mind was clear for the first time in a very long time to think about what Renee wanted. 

My legs were closed.  There was no distractions from sex and the emotional attachment that goes along with it. 

My eyes were open to see people for who they are.   My heart was being made whole again.  I learned what forgiveness really meant. 

I told a few people who I thought would be happy  for me, but for them it was no big deal. 

It got me to thinking  when we accomplish things in our lives we need to celebrate them. 

Not beating ourselves up for what we have not been able to complete.  But looking back at the valleys and peaks we have climbed. 

We need to celebrate where we are now. 

I am not who I use to be.  I am not where I want to be.  But I am so glad about who I am becoming. 

This life is a journey, it is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved. 

I am going to remember to celebrate my accomplishments even if its by myself.  

What do you have to celebrate??
