Half the year

Six months of the year are gone, and it seems as if it were a blur. Yes, there were illnesses and surgeries, birthdays and anniversaries, heartaches and joys, anger and forgiveness, plans and cancellations,excitement and boredom, and births and deaths.My microcosm certainly echoes others' lives. The paradox that moments can feel like eternities while months can feel like minutes is evident. There have been lessons learned, mistakes made,plans altered, prayers answered,relationships stretched, bonds formed, miles walked,books read, thoughts written. So now there is half the year left to keep moving, keep progressing, keep singing, keep caring, keep worshipping,keep trying, keep evolving and as is often said ,"keep on keeping on."
