Tears

Not only do people reside in the maze, but emotions also share space in the maze with us.  We never know, as we're weaving around the twists and turns, which emotion we're going to pick up along the way and carry for a season.  Happiness, sadness, joy, anger, confusion, peace, despair....they're all neighbors to us. 

Tears are companions to many, if not all, of these emotions.  One friend has a new grandbaby that was born yesterday, and I'm sure tears fell down the cheeks of some of those family members as they welcomed their newest addition into this world.  Today, another friend had to say goodbye to her father as he completed his final, earthly journey and exited the maze.  Tears, without doubt, are falling  down the cheeks of that family, as well.  Tears of joy for one, and tears of sadness for the other. 

Wherever you find yourself at this moment, know that you're never alone and that a new journey awaits....just around the bend.

I'll see ya in the box!
