The stepping stones that show the path I have taken

Each stone is shaped and represented differently

Some through turmoil and adversity

And some through contentment and joy

I go through my days

Growing and changing

I can look beyond to see the future that awaits me

Yet I can look back and see the past that brought me here

Some stones are left cracked and broken

Those represent the more difficult moments

Some stones heart-shaped and painted with patterns

Those represent the happier moments

Every person you meet

Every experience you endure

Every place you visit

They all represent a stone of your journey through life

Whether colorful and beautiful or moss ridden

Every stone has paved my way toward where I am and where I am going

I’m truly excited to embark on the rest of my journey

And I am grateful for choosing to continue
