Along the Way

Recently, a minor miracle has found its way to Lincoln, Nebraska. Summer has relinquished its hold on the weather and has finally made way for brisk and beautiful autumn. The leaves are beginning to change ever so slightly and the highs for the day are staying in the upper 70s. It is blissful...

This change in the seasons makes me nostalgic for one reason or another, and I find myself transported back to many and various places and times. Some memories go as far back as my time in Kansas City and family trips to Weston. Others are more recent, such as my summer spent in Dublin and trips to James Arthur Vineyard with the girls. (Sigh...) How time flies!

It also makes me think of all the people who have come into and out of my life, and the impact they have made on me and the woman I have become. I sit and can recall grade school teachers and classmates, high school coaches and sports teams, theater casts, old boyfriends, college professors, and all the friends along the way have helped to shape me. Good experiences. Bad experiences. Joys. Failures. Mistakes. Mile markers. What a journey it has been, and yet, there is God in it all, intricately weaving all of the events and people into the fabric of our lives...and I don't mean cotton!
