That’s a beautifully honest thought, Lauralee—“Reconciling the past and present is peculiar.” It really is. There’s something almost surreal about looking back at who we were, the people we knew, the dreams we held—and then trying to make sense of how it all fits into who we are now.
Here’s a reflection inspired by that idea:
🕊 Reconciling the Past and Present
There’s a peculiar tension in the space between who I was and who I’ve become.
The past holds pieces of me—friends, places, moments—that shaped my heart. Some of those pieces feel warm and familiar, others distant and strange. I look back and wonder: Was that really me? And yet, I know it was.
The present is quieter. More intentional. Filled with new roles, deeper faith, and a different rhythm. I’ve grown. I’ve let go. I’ve held on. But sometimes, the echoes of the past call out—not to pull me backward, but to remind me of the journey.
Reconciling the past and present isn’t about choosing one over the other. It’s about weaving them together. Honoring the memories without being bound by them. Letting the lessons live, while allowing myself to evolve.
It’s peculiar, yes. But it’s also sacred.
Because in this tension, I find grace.
Would you like to turn this into a blog post with a title and closing call to reflection or faith? Or maybe pair it with a design or nature metaphor to match your style?
