Ok, another new start? But isn't that what each new day brings?

The alarm clock rang at 530 am this morning. I turned and thought about turning it off, but I had made a commitment to myself that I would go to the beach. I dragged myself out the door and I headed to South Park to see the sunrise. A couple passing showers on the way brought doubts into my plan, but I continued.

I made it to the Bach and parked and still no sunrise. I met some friends , and walked with them, but the sunrise was not not happening. I left my friends and headed back towards my car when the sun peaked out of the horizon. It was beautiful. I kept seeing people I knew. I kept taking pictures . As I walked  I thought how I had missed the mornings that I would get up to just do the same thing for so many years. On the way back I ran into Mario , this man I know from the beach for so many years. He always shakes my hand with his left hand, his right is always in his pocket. After speaking to me and catching up he pulls out his hand and he is holding a rosary I made for him many years ago. What a surprise and a blessing that not only has he touched my life but I touched his life also. The people I ran into today we're all reminders of how we are all connected. No one comes into my life without a purpose and I am thankful to I sometimes get to find out that purpose before they leave me.

I was reminded to not be so hard on myself . To enjoy the journey . That there is always tomorrow or start anew of a mess up today. But the most important thing that I felt in my heart that yes it possible to reach one's goals no matter had difficult it might seem. Each day can be magical, but I have to see the magic and be part of the magic too.
