Gratitude
Posted under Being RSG, Gratitude and Visualization by Recovering Straight GirlIt’s Monday and the holiday is over. We had a lovely dinner and I received lovely gifts from my girls. We watched a movie together and this morning they all went to school.
I’m still blogged down and overwhelmed with deadlines. I feel as though the little bit of creativity that I have just left me when I finished a writing piece for one of my classes. The next bit of creativity will be deciding what to make for dinner.
Here’s what I do have.
Gratitude.
I am grateful for my family. I am grateful for my beautiful and amazing wife who takes care of me every single day. She gives me everything, does everything, and IS everything to me. Every day that I look at her I am amazed and in awe of how lucky that I am to have her in my life–loving me and the girls–always there for us–always cherishing us.
Sometimes I don’t feel worthy of the love that she bestows on me. Sometimes I forget how lucky I am–I get selfish and crazy. But I always remember and when I look at her or lie in her arms at night I remember and tell her so.
It’s easy to forget how lucky we are and then awful things happen like cyclones and tornadoes and earthquakes in China and a million people get hurt or killed–a million people just like us living our lives and it causes us to stop for a moment and think about how precious and wonderful our lives are.
Life is funny. Not funny ha-ha all of the time. Not even some of the time for some people, but life is what it is. There isn’t always a lot to feel grateful for but there is always something to feel grateful for.
I hope you all find something today and reflect on those things with love in your heart.
Happy Monday.
Thank you sincerely for this reminder today. I was kind of stuck in my “blahs” this morning… and forgot… to remember to be grateful. For heavens sake… it is even on my license plate says (gr8ful)!
Thank you again! Redirected, I head off for my day!
I really needed this reminder today too. Yesterday was a tough day for me in many ways and I need to remember to be grateful for all that I have. It’s easy to forget when you get so bogged down by everything.
I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day!
I am grateful for your blog!
Hello, I just read your blog and profile. A flow of positive energy, i liked that
I am going through a bad break up, but yes you are right, there are bigger problems out there i.e China. We just need to find this one thing every day that will change us, even for a bit
Thank you! I’m grateful that I got to spend yesterday with your family. It was a wonderful time. So peaceful and loungie.
You’re right, there’s always something to be grateful for. I may get frustrated about expenses but after reading about the thousands of people who have lost their lives between earthquakes, floods and tornadoes, it feels like I have no right to bitch about anything, and should be very grateful for all that I do have.
Happy Belated Mothers Day!
Heart you HAB.
