Life is a beautiful thing

 This morning marked the end of my time in Victoria and I couldn't help but feel like I was loosing a bit of myself as I said goodbye and boarded the ferry this morning. It was a foggy early morning which only added to the emotions of the moment. My friends got together and said a prayer for me before I left, wishing me good which made for a bit of an emotional parting. Feelings of how blessed and happy I was seemed to take over as I sat on the ferry watching the tips of the mountains peek out of the fog to get a look at the sunrise .
I have been so blessed lately it sometimes feels unreal or that I'll wake up tomorrow and it will all be over, but even if it did I would be grateful for all my wonderful memories and feelings. As crazy as it sounds, I'm learning that I can be happy without feeling it all the time. Life will never be perfect and neither will people but it's about making the best of what you have. I still have fears about the future because uncertainty is scary sometimes, but I hope that I will be strong enough to take whatever God sees fit to give me. I know that this life isn't the end and I have all eternity ahead of me. Life is hard sometimes but its the simple moments that make it all bearable. Life is wonderful and beautiful, we just need a reminder and a bit of hope to remember it sometimes.
