Fresh new air to breathe. One of the many benefits of living in my new home, Perez Zeledon. To be more specific, La Palma, about five minutes outside of town in the mountains between San Isidro General and Playa Dominical. But lately there is something new in the air. Something transforming. I know what it is. I have breathed this air before, so it must not be unique to this place. My life has taken many turns, some for the better, others for the worse. Has there been someone guiding me along this mysterious path? At times it certainly seems not. It would appear at first blush that I have been completely misguided. But all those twists and turns of “fate” have brought me here and it has now become obvious (to me) that I am where I am supposed to be, where I need to be. Much of what I have written lately probably makes those words a bit of a surprise. I agree that recently I have experienced an emotional bottom, ha tocado fondo, as my tico friends might tell me. But from that deep dark emotional valley, I found this new air to breathe. And it is imparting new life, a new desire to live. Only this time the motive is different. This time I have a new reason to live and live I will, but not for me, not for her, not for anyone, or any thing, but Him. This is the air I breathe.
Oh, one last thing before I end this brief post….from the bottom of my heart, thanks for your prayers (and all of you know who you are).
