Day 2: How have you changed in the past 2 years?

I've changed a lot in the past 2 years.  I've gone from being employed, having a house, being healthy, and living in Alaska to being unemployed, losing my home, going thru major illnesses, losing my father, realizing that I'm not 39 any more when suffering from arthritis I didn't know I had until I moved to Virginia! 

It may sound bad and looking back was painful, but I'm in a better place now, feeling better about my life, and looking forward to the "golden" years with excitement and anticipation.  Two years ago I couldn't see past today, much less looking to the future. 

I think I'm stronger, and I don't take things for granted quite so much anymore.  The past 2 years have given me strength to endure whatever life throws at me and faith to see it through.

Today's quote: "I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see." John Burroughs
