Especially at this time in my life, I am grateful for all the relationships I have-- and even the ones that I've had that have brought me to this point. Along the lines of that common saying that we are to each other for "a reason, a season, or a lifetime," I offer the following from Transitions by Julia Cameron. It was my meditation a day or two ago...

"We do not interact at random. We are in each other's lives for spiritual reasons. We have 'business' with one another. By consciously choosing to focus on why I have met someone, on how I can best serve and expand another, I bring to each encounter a heightened awareness. As I ask to love all and serve all, I bring forward my spiritual gifts and call forward the gifts of others. Grace fills every moment when we are truly present. Sometimes we transit each other's lives like benevolent planets."

Ah, yes, this coming into and going out of each other's lives... How true that has been for me. Last year had its beginnings and it certainly had its endings! This year, likely more of the same, huh? So honoring the "transiting" and the transitions, and bringing a mindfulness and a sense of service... Letting Grace fill every moment, because all moments are precious...

May God keep our goings out and our comings in, daily, and ever more!
