I am very fond of the three lined quote below. So much so that I decided to add to it to make it more personal. I actually read the final additions aloud to my housemate and only made it half way through before my throat was in knots and I started to cry. I pushed through but it wasn't pretty. "There's a lot to unpack in all of those lines." She said. And that, she is right. There's much to process and much to embrace. I'm thankful for reflection. A chance to appreciate the journey and look forward to the adventure. So with this... I give you my continuation of the inspirational quote I am so fond of. My personal addition begins with line number 4.
"I will be strong because I have been weak.
I will be fearless because I have been afraid.
I will be wise because I have been foolish."
I will be excited because I have faced disappointment.
I will live actively because I have taken rest.
I will take rest because I have been active.
I will travel because I have this one life.
I will grow because I have been challenged.
I will bless others because I have been given much.
I will think well of myself because I have torn myself down.
I will have more faith because I have doubted.
I will be patient because I have been hasty.
I will be loving because I have been loved.
What will you? Because You?
Lovingly,
Gabrielle
