Being thankful

The church sermon was about pivoting, turning, and changing directions. The point was to reflect on all the changes in life that were good, but somehow I (and many others) seemed to lock on the changes that weren’t so good too.

Then, one very old lady that tends to speak her mind said we should be thankful for what we have and not dwell on what we lost. I know it can be especially difficult this time of year to be thankful when we are constantly reminded of what we’ve lost. But, I have always been thankful for meeting you.

Yes, I’ve dwelled on what happened and always wonder if it could have been different. Could there have been some point in time that the smallest change would have put us on a different path? Although we will never know, I still look for my missed opportunity.

But, I am thankful to have met you. Thankful to love you. And thankful you are still part of my life. Although we’re not together, it was you that saved me and showed me love can happen again.

It is this love that makes we wish you happiness and success. I do truly want you to be happy. Who knows what the future holds for each of us, or us together.

Love always, and prayers for both of us.

A story of love lost. Just a guy in love with a woman that doesn't want a relationship with him. She moved away and married someone else. I have shared this blog with her, and she knows the truth. I tried. I waited for a while. But, none of it worked. She is married to someone else now, but still drops into my life now and again. I am trying to move on. But, she was my one true love that inspired me to be a better person. If any of this story has meaning to you, please let me know. Thank you.
