What I Have Learned

As I sit and ponder this last year I try and try to figure out WHY? I have learned NOT to ask why everyday. My answer is always the same, "God has a plan"! I have, however, learned that we don't always see the immediate answer. I want desperately to see the reason Danny was taken from me and our kids. In this past year, I have learned to be more patient, kinder, bolder, the list goes on and on. Danny is teaching me even as he is looking down on me. I have stopped to smell more flowers this year than I have smelled my whole life! I even smell the weeds growing along the road! I have learned that if you love someone you should tell them. Don't wait! If you are sorry for something...tell that person...don't wait! I have learned that dishes can wait...children can't! A clean house just ain't all that! But a good cup of coffee shared with a friend IS! I have learned that family is Gods gift to us here on earth! Don't take them for granted. Cherish them, nurture them and LOVE them because you won't have them forever! Life is so short and gone in a blink of an eye! Don't wait for your funeral to wear that special dress! Wear it now when YOU can enjoy it! Even if you are going to the grocery store or the post office! Put on those pearls or that diamond necklace! It will look good on you when you are picking out your fruits and veggies! For those that knew Danny, you know he wore his GOOD clothes 24/7. His best gray shirt and blue shorts! Always! I finally cleaned out that last wardrobe that was his just last week! A stack of gray shirts:) That is just who he was! And boy do I miss that! The one thing I have learned in this past year is don't hold on to your anger. Give it to God and let him deal with it. Danny was not one to hold on to his anger. He didn't hold a grudge. He loved. If there is nothing else I learned from him in the 30 years we were together I learned to love. Everything else just falls in to place if there is love! And with Danny, there was always love.

 

Blessings
