Third Act

I am in my third act of life. 

This is what I found on Wikipedia when I googled aspects of a three act play: The third act features the resolution of the story and its subplots. The climax is the scene or sequence in which the main tensions of the story are brought to their most intense point and the dramatic question answered, leaving the protagonist and other characters with a new sense of who they really are.

All that I have experienced in my first two acts of life have led me to this point of intensity, this climax of the Big Questions: Who am I really? What is my value? What, if anything, is missing?

I am able to have gratitude for the intensity of necessary change, not because it is fun or easy, but because I know that I am strong. I have the strength gained from learning from mistakes, acknowledging my inherent worth, and taking the next step in faith.

I am grateful that I am enough. That I have this remarkable gift of life in which to experience the illusion of separation from my Source. That I receive and recognize the gifts of love from my Creator. That I am given a platform in which to explore all aspects of gratitude for blessings seen and those not yet discovered.

I am grateful for those other children of the One who help me on my journey, whether by choice or by circumstance. 

I am especially grateful for the resolution which must, inevitably, follow the climax in the third act.
