Looking back

I remembered this blog and looked back. It's very interesting to see how I've changed, and how I remain constant.

How I am still tempted by some things, still cynical about some others, still hopeful that God will change.

How I am more able to withstand, more able to trust, less dramatic, more at peace.

How I wonder at words. At what they mean. At their aim and if it's me.

How I turn away silently, when I once felt compelled to speak.

I realize I will never know what might have been, and I must be thankful for the life I have chosen to lead, and all the joy and calm it brings.
