    TIME HEALS ALL

    posted Thursday, 20 December 2007

    When I first received my orders for Operation Iraqi Freedom, I sat down and read them silently. They declared, among other things, that I was "ordered to active duty for a period not to exceed 544 days."

    My deployment lasted exactly that many days, and they changed the course of my life. I'm still glad I went.

    Today's my anniversary. I've been home for just as long as I was gone.

    Life continues to amaze me with this inspiring milestone, and so much more.

    May you find what you need to live the life you love this holiday season.

    It was a nice feeling when I had been home a day longer than I was gone. Only now, I have to ask myself, "now what?" Happy anniversary!
