There is a realization that comes when you find peace from within...a realization that each day is a blessing...and that we each have so many things that we can be grateful for. Living in gratitude we can feel everything opening up. The more we appreciate what we have to be grateful for the more blessing we realize.
Even during a day when things don't appear to be going just so...I look around and find a silver lining. It is that silver lining...that small thing found to be grateful for that makes a difficult day suddenly become brighter. Transforming negative into positive in a moment. I so easily have missed that in the past...and it has become important for me to appreciate all that I do have in my life. Everything that has brought me to this new day. Blessings surround me...Love surrounds me.
The gifts that I am grateful for each morning are becoming more and more apparent. Just the act of driving my grandson to school each morning has become a valuable bonding time...and laughter and smiles...Flowers plucked from my gardens to bring into the house brings nature that much closer...and a small stone placed in my hand by my grandson becomes a treasure...
Knowing who my son is even if we do not talk to each other anymore is more information than I had for 42 years...
This gratitude is an energy that stays with me all day...
...and shows me more than my eyes use to see and my heart use to feel...
