This path

Ten years ago a psychic told me I had a clearly defined path to follow.

A beautiful path. A shining happy path. That would touch many.

There would be temptations to stray from the path, but that's when my heart would offer me directions.

Follow your heart.

That's pretty much all she told me. And that I would write.

It stuck with me.

Maybe because a part of me believed it already anyway.

Maybe because I already was a writer.

It's this path that I've been thinking about lately.

I've been looking back at the path I've made. The path I've followed. {How far I've come}.

And it does seem a clear direct route.

The beautiful {shining, happy} stretches stand out most.

And in the parts where I felt weak, I now see I was stronger than I thought.

And when I felt lost, I now see I had really just halted.

And when I wasn't okay, I see that I always believed I would be {in time}.

I was talking about paths with a friend today. The path we choose {create, follow, take}.

I pondered what could have been for a few seconds there.

But mostly I feel blessed {grateful} for what has been. And what is.

For the opportunities {to start again}.

For the lessons learnt {and questions asked}.

For love {created and shared}.

For the path my heart chose.

Do you ever look back and see how far you've come? What's making you feel grateful this week?
