Gratitude is something I regularly take for granted. It's easy to be grateful for the good things in our life, but what about those not so good things? Today, I am going to try to be grateful for my sorrows, my depressions and my disappointments. This is very hard for me, but I do recognize that these very things are what force me to grow into a better, stronger, more compassionate person (at least, that is the hope) and, for some reason, my creativity flourishes. Maybe because my soul is stripped bare and there is nothing else to do but turn towards those things that are my unique, internal healers.
So, bring it on negative thoughts, loss and despair. I'm ready for you...and if I can't handle it, my dog will kick your ass.
On a lighter note, I am grateful for this beautiful day...my last day of freedom!
