It's the EVE of my TWENTY-FIFTH birthday. I've spent my day on the Italian coastline. The thoughts have rolled over and over in my mind about how much life I've lived this last year.
I'm not a super reflective person and I don't spend much time contemplating where I see this whole life thing taking me but I've been full of thoughts today. Thoughts of what happened these last TWELVE months, how much my life has changed and then also how little too in so many ways. From the things I have accomplished and the places I've seen, the people I have watched walk out of my life and those that have walked in, the tears and the laughter I have either caused or experienced, the pain and emotions of certain days to the hope and excitement of the future's promises.
It has not been an easy TWELVE months yet has it been the hardest?! I'm undecided. Each twentieth year so far has been an eye opening, life building and faith stretching epic adventure.
As I lie here on an Italian beach turning a darker shade of pale (sometimes I miss South Africa too much for my own happiness!) I cannot help but wonder how the next FIVE years will pan out. Hopefully better than my imagination...
"If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to do, do it. Want to change the world, there's nothing to it..."
