History Mysteries, “Fall in Love with Your Life!”

Written by Lynn Allen

Each week, I venture down my exploration of history. This week’s purpose is to focus on lessons learned and ways we might fall in love with our lives. Each exploration of history is an opportunity to explore history, travel, and chase down each clue to find gems at the bottom of your history chest.

I am grateful for each opportunity to share and explore each piece of history. I am thankful for each story shared with me and that I have been able to share with you. I am grateful for each friendship, some old and some new.

I am so incredibly grateful for each individual who took the time to reach out regularly during my mothers health crisis. The individuals who checked in on my mom and me in each of those moments. The gifts given in those moments I cannot properly illustrate. I found myself holding my breath and waiting, exhausted and emotionally unraveling in a health crisis out of my control and means life has transformed to a new existence and what was my mom will never be the same. The situation did have positive impacts, such as renewed clarity for the things that are important in life. In those moments, suddenly the things that do matter are illuminated. It also helps you develop an understanding and appreciation for the moments that, perhaps, sometimes, we take for granted. In these moments of clarity  you gain a new perspective on life, living, your story, and each celebration, and even of each sorrow. Take time to fall in love with your life, appreciate love, and value the people who consistently show up and celebrate their presence and support. Fall in love with your life!

I am equally surprised by the actions, lack of effort, or presence of people I would have expected to show up. I am still immensely grateful for the people who did. Celebrate the people who care and make a difference. Life is far too precious and short to waste your time or effort on individuals who can’t see anyone beyond themselves! Chase after your stories, dig in your treasure chests and listen to the stories that will become treasured while you can!#historymysteries
