Roots and random thoughts

So I was thinking....which I know can be a very dangerous venture.....about roots and what connects us....how life changes in the blink of an eye....how people come in and out of our lives and what we take away from them and what we leave behind.....about how random acts or small words of encouragement can change your direction.....about how much influence we really have over the paths we choose.....have I chosen wisely......have I choosen poorly......who am I in someone's else's story......how family really is who makes your heart feel at home......to be careful who you let into your life.....be even more careful who you cut out......that God loves me no matter what I do or say, and He wants me to know His heart....how no one talks to each other anymore....we twitter, text, email, chat, but never really talk.....to be kind to each other because you don't know that other person's story and how you fit into it....that 15 is hard, joyous, exciting, frustrating, fun.....that 46 is hard, joyous, exciting, frustrating and fun....that we never really take the time to tell the people we love that we love them....i love you....and sometimes it's too late...Roots...what grounds us, what anchors us, our foundation, allowing us to grow and spread out and still remain strong...So I was thinking about roots....my own and those that have been planted...and that I am grateful for every day...and excited about what my future holds...and glad that I am firmly rooted in faith, love and courage....Bring on the next adventure!
