Good morning my DU family, [View all]

When it comes to "family" there's a lot I missed out on growing up in group homes and foster homes most of my childhood and therefore I have much to learn.

As I spent last weekend with Rorys family, I experienced much confusion as to my place in it because I felt like and was a stranger to so many in the room.

As difficult as it can be sometimes to feel lost in the midst of so many, to feel confused as to the validity of my place in that element, I have gained faith in one little nugget of faith that has never failed me to this point.

I am growing and learning something right now. Until I awaken to what that is, I'll be ok knowing that I will wake up from this moment in a better place, one with a fuller awareness and understanding and I really look forward to that day with a full faith in its certainty.

When I feel completely lost, I am learning the most.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to grow and learn, and if the results aren't plain, to trust that it's happening anyway.

Have a great day firmly planted in the belief that today will offer us much to learn.
Love, John
