Word Up # 61: OPEN

I feel like miracles have been happening all around me. Some smack me in the face and some are subtle and when I look back on them I am amazed. Like my two month old boys. They are miracles. They are lucky to be here. I'm lucky to be here. With all the events that were trying to get in the way; somehow a miracle happened and now we are all here safe and sound. Be open to all possibilities. Be open to good no matter how low you are. I mean just being here typing on this blog is crazy. I would have never thought ALL this would be happening. My family, my online family. This place where I am making a difference in peoples lives. Thinking back to times when I thought I would never get out of bed again. My shyness...almost crippling in the past and now I reach out. I just called one of my sons good friends' mother to meet for coffee sometime. Yeah that may seem like normal to some but I was all freaky about that kind of thing. Always a worry wart for no reason. But I've grown so much and I love where I am at right now. I can honestly say that I am happy. Who woulda thought? I'm open to miracles alright. Two sets of twins back-to-back? Yeah...I'm open to miracles indeed. My Word Up is OPEN. Join in and share how this word holds power in your life!

going through difficult times in my house so the word really sparked me creatively - probably just not in the way that others thought.
