Today, I was reminded by several different things, just how very blessed I am, and how we all tend to take so many things for granted- things that could impact our lives in a major way if they were different. I found myself wondering if I would handle those things with the dignity and grace that I see others handling them with, and I honestly don’t know. I’d like to think that I would, but I do believe that until you walk in someones shoes, or are finding yourself in a similar position, you never really know.
I was reminded that EVERYTHING in life counts- every moment, every thought, every single action- what we do with what we are given Matters.
I would love to know what YOU are grateful for in your own life- EVERYONE has something to be grateful for, even those who doubt aren’t looking hard enough.
My Gratitude List for May 15, 2009.
Today I’m Grateful For:
- My Eyesight- which allows me to see.
- An umbrella to keep me dry when it’s raining.
- Color
- Glucosamine, which hopefully is helping my knee heal.
- Soft falling rain, without wind.
I am grateful for my mum, for you, for the wind that makes the trees dance frantically this morning, for the bitter acrid deliciousness of the coffee…. for love, for warmth, for life itself.
