finding beauty

i’m finding beauty
in where i’ve been
i’m looking back
to move forward again
i’m beginning to
believe i am different
from who i was
way
back when


Before I leave the house I check to see if I
have my phone, wallet, and keys.
Phone.
Wallet.
Keys.

And when I know I have my phone, wallet, and keys I feel ready.
I feel okay.
I can move forward.  

But only if I have my phone, wallet, and keys.

Do you do this, too?

It’s almost as if these three items give me the security I’m searching for so I can step into whatever the day has for me.

But those aren’t the only three things I carry with me.

I’m bringing what was, what is, and what will be as I move forward.

I’m taking faith, hope, and love.

I’m taking forgiveness and freedom and truth.

And as I move forward I’m beginning to believe I am different from who I was way back when.

Peace,
