I will need an open heart; a loving heart.

To be trusting in myself and my God.

To be grateful for the ways in which the secret and suppressed desires of my heart

will be fulfilled.

I showed myself extraordinary strength and love this past year.

And it confirmed:

I am well on my way to having healed both the old and new wounds expectant of this life.

Oh, what a blessing this life really is.

I deserve love reciprocated.

I deserve love that is comforting and genuine.

I deserve love that does not reject and punish.

I deserve love that heals and doesn’t hurt.

I deserve the love I have longed for.

I deserve a hand to hold; the comfort of a beloved soul.

I know this to be true, because I gave this to myself this past year,

All that I once thought could only be fulfilled by another.

Oh, what a blessing this life really is.
