1. The picture's probably not clear to you now and it probably won't be for a while, but that's okay.
2. Emotions aren't inherently bad. In fact, feelings are gifts. Recognize that they may not be truthful, but know that they are real. Feel, mourn, meditate... then move.
3. Eat - without fear, with gratitude.
4. You can't be self-sufficient. You never will be.
5. It's your seas that ebb and flow, not your Rock.

16. It's true, the most direct route is a straight line... but life hardly acts that way.
17. You have a tendency to judge too quickly. Always give people the benefit of the doubt.
18. Sometimes it's worth keeping that space in your heart vacant. You never know how He's gonna fill it up.

20. The heart must pump blood to itself before it provides for the rest of the body.
21. It's hard to accept that people and places move on without you.
22. "Home" doesn't have to be the comfort of where you've been and who you know. Maybe it's built where you're going.
