I ran across this piece, and wanted to share. In my opinion, the greatest gift that anyone can ever give themselves is an honest self analysis.

365 Days And A Lifetime
One year ago
I thought I was in love
His daughter was birthed last night by the woman he left me for
Nine months ago
I vowed to make this time about me
I’ve regretfully broken two hearts since then
Seven months ago
I contemplated walking away from one of my oldest friendships
I ended up losing three
Six months ago
I thought I knew what heartbreak was
Then I sat at my mother’s side as her last breath left her body
Four months ago
I thought I would never genuinely laugh again
And then in the wee hours of the morning I awoke with tears of joy
Two months ago
I asked God to make it clear to me
He continues to every single day
Three weeks ago
Amidst an argument, I almost lost sight of who I was
And then, in an instant I remembered and was able to ask for forgiveness
Two hours ago
I thought to myself, what a year it’s been
And now, sitting here looking back on it all
I could not be more grateful to have survived it…
