Almost to Acceptance


I have a favorite path I walk regularly in the midst of corn fields and ponds. 
With my iPod and my camera I walk the paved path, which if it could speak, could tell you of the tears I've shed, the days when I walked into the wind, 
when I have cried out to God and searched for beauty and meaning. 
I think many thoughts and listen for God's voice as I walk.


Today I smiled in the sunshine, marveling at our atypical winter... 40 some degrees in January?
I was surprised with the thought that I'm almost to acceptance. 
In a way that scares me, 
but emerging from grieving does not mean that the missing will be gone, just less raw. 

In the past month I have experienced such incredible healing and restoration, 
and I am so thankful for that! 
Smiles and laughter come more naturally.  
Still on the path, and almost to acceptance.
