Bloom, Grow, Love

I can't help but start day dreaming when the weather gets cold and the rain starts to fall in steady sheets. Wishing I was sitting next to a crackling fire wrapped up in a blanket sipping hot tea next to the one I love. Sounds like a perfect rain date to me.

Peter Pan, who is my favorite Disney character, has always been quoted "I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!" I always wanted to live my life that way. Never growing up. But in the end when I tried not to grow up I inevitably did. Life is all about the lessons you learn and how each one of those lessons makes you who you are today. I was wrestling with this idea. I decided its like all the things that happen to you, all the people you meet are all part of you. Every experience is like a tool and with each of these tools you are creating your own unique tool box. Makes you think that, well at least makes me think, that you should embrace everything that happens and try to make everything a positive instead of a negative.

""The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.""
J.M. Barrie (Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens)

My goal is to live my life... not focusing on the inevitable but instead by faith. Faith in others, in my own decisions and most importantly faith in God.
