For my entire adult life, I have prided myself on being a survivor. I have a keen ability to pick myself up, dust myself off and forge ahead. Over the last couple of weeks I have begun to question whether or not surviving is enough. Surviving is not living, living is living.
Starting today, I vow to live.
I will wake up and wonder what treasured moment I will encounter today, not worry about what is going to go wrong today.
I will look forward to tomorrow and what it may bring, not prepare myself for what I may have to survive tomorrow, or what brokenness may need fixed.
I will not live day after day as if it were a game of 52 Card Pick Up.
I will learn to let go, to trust that if I fall someone will catch me, as they have promised to do.
I will love without looking over my shoulder, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I am worthy of living, worthy of love, and worthy of happiness.
We all are.

This will be one of the hardest things to do. I have been there and done that. You will be happier when you learn to let go a little, but don't get frustrated if it takes a bit.
