~:[CH6 - Day 356]:~ By Chance

Like that silver ball that gets bounced around in a pinball game, every movement in the game results in you ending up a different position. Much as in life, every decision you make in life, takes you to somewhere else. I was lucky enough to make the decisions that brought me close to this wonderful family who taught me a lot. Who showed me that it doesn't take much to build a loving family, who reminded me that even in the toughest of situations, you have each other to pull you through, and who taught me that even when you are struggling yourself, you can continue to give to others around you. I have been so amazed in all I've learned in my few years knowing this beautiful family. It's been tough seeing all that they've had to deal with over the years, but I am glad that every decision I made, allowed me to grow closer to them. I'm not sure if it was simply by chance or if the decisions I've made before guided me to them, but I am forever grateful that my road map guided me to them. With the holidays coming up, many will think about what they want to receive or what they want to give to others, which is the norm. However, through all my interactions with this family, I am reminded that after all the stress of holiday shopping and wrapping, we must not forget to give and receive the greatest gifts - love, compassion, and unity. Whether you celebrate anything this holiday, I hope that you make the decision that will yield the best results possibly going forward; love with all your heart, have compassion for those around you and remember to stay true and loyal to those who you hold dear, as by doing so, it will not be simply by chance that you'll overcome life's biggest obstacles in order to find yourself on the road to life's greatest joys.
