The Second Act

Tonight it is breezy.  OK gusty, and windy.  But I had a few minutes to step outside and look at the sky. It is so beautiful with its wispy clouds, crescent moon, and countless stars.  I am so thankful that we are able to see past our own world.  That we are able to contemplate life somewhere else. That there is a bigger back yard, a wiser universe, a master plan.  I am thankful for the knowledge that this is not all there is.  That there will be more after I am here. That I will again see my loved ones.  That although I will not have the opportunity to use all my talents in this life, that doesn't mean I will never use them.  That this is only the second act.
