Living In Gratitude

There are many times in our lives where we experience an awakening to what is truly important in our lives. Yet so often we take alot of our daily existence for granted.

Since my niece had been in a coma for a couple of weeks, it brought to my attention how many simple, daily things I am grateful for. She brought an awareness to "living in gratitude". I am grateful that I can breathe, easily, on my own. That I awaken each day, can speak, move my arms, feet, fingers, tongue, eyes....all at my own will. Thankful that I can walk, even across the room, that I can remember yesterday, last year, or even farther back.

While I have been taught through different mentors the importance of writing a gratitude list daily...there are times it becomes routine..saying things like I appreciate my body, my family, etc.., but what I now realize is how much we should all express this gratitude in a heartfelt manner. Really FEELING grateful for every part of our existence.

My niece is awake, she is doing great, her current challenge is being able to walk...her legs are not yet doing what she tells them to do. We pray for her continued healing and her ability to walk again. Thanks to all of my wonderful braveheart sisters and friends for the continued support....I am grateful.
