Where I'm at in my life

I came across a paragraph as I was reading today that so perfectly described where  I feel I'm at in my life these days that I wanted to share it.

It's from a book by Joan Chittister called In Search of Belief  which I highly recommend.

"The finality of death rises as stumbling block to many.  But it is difficult as life goes on not to see it as grace gone wild.  If nothing ever ended, nothing new could ever begin.  The losses that we thought would surely kill us are the losses that reorient our lives.  When we loose something that has consumed us, we discover aspects of life we long ago ceased to realize we even had.  "I'll never marry again," the woman said to me. "The marriage I had was wonderful, but now I have other things I want to do in life."
