The Reasons I Exist

My existence is full of good intentions as well an aria of good deeds. I seek things that bring happiness and feed off of the joy of others. I need not material items nor wealth, just the freedom of free will in good decision making. I have but one goal. To reveal to each and every person I love just how unbelievably special they are. I have not always been this way, however. I have seen the damaging effects of addiction and have been to hell and back with selfishness and pride. Through it all I have prevailed through faith and loyalty from my family and friends. Writing is so important to me. It brings me to a place I have always longed to be near. When I am troubled or surrounded in anguish, all I have to do is pick up my pen and journal and I am instantly encompassed by its healing touch. Even though I relish in writing, there is nothing more important than my family. My adoration for my daughter extends to heaven’s abyss and back three times over. She is my light in the darkness, my dream come true. My husband has loved my unconditionally for twenty- two years. I also reciprocate those emotions back respect and honor. They are the lines to my life, the reason I exist in a life devoid of loneliness and turmoil. My purpose is well known to those who I love. I am astounded in the resounding effects my faith has had on me for the past thirty-eight years of my life. I am forever grateful to God for His remarkable trust in me to live out my days through His love. Your Purpose in Life Heidi Sands May 5, 2018
