moments...memories

"Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory."
 Dr. Seuss
Today's gift came as I looked down at my wrist, having instinctively slipped rubber bands on my wrist in order to have them handy when I needed them.  
This simple thing took me right back to Alaska...we are given rubber bands to wear around our wrist to remind ourselves to always be flexible while serving with GraceWorks in Alaska.

Things happen.  Plans change.  You make the most of what you are given and what you have.
So many moments turn into great memories.
Even unplanned, most unexpected moments.
My gift is remembering the moments while still wanting to make more memories.  
Greater things are yet to come.
God has just begun.

My health journey to where I am today began back in 2010. It is amazing that things do not happen accidentally, even if they seem to in the beginning. Actually, as the pieces of my story have come together, this story begins w

anchored

My word for 2018.  Anchored. To keep from drifting. Representative of stability and strength. Connected. Held.  Grounded.  Positioned.  Fixed. Movable. Small, yet, essential part of a bigger entity. It is a standard by which to live; a goal for which to strive. Anchored.
