There are so many things I have to be grateful for. I know this sounds cliche, however I’m truly grateful for my ability to Live, Laugh, & Love. With so many things in going on in the world that negatively impact our Atmosphere, Attitudes, & our Attachments it can be a struggle to find a reason to be grateful.
Now please understand when I say this, I mean finding gratefulness beyond the obvious reasons. I.E my Faith, My Religious beliefs or my church denomination or affiliation. Yes we expect others to state these reasons for being grateful, but beyond that what are they grateful for. In my case, having the ability to Live the life I choose to live free from the opinions and validations of others is something to be grateful for. Not everyone has the courage to live out loud. Next having the privilege of laughing and finding joy in the simplest of things is another reason to be grateful. You know, its hard being bitter, angry and miserable all the time. It actually takes more energy to be angry than it does to be pleasant. Finally, I’m grateful for my ability to Love! This is a huge one for me because as a believer, LOVE is so vital to my peace of mind and peace in my life.
Being able to Love freely and allow myself to be loved unapologetically is a place of gratefulness that I continue to enjoy every day. Being grateful for me is not about what I have, but about being about to be free to LIVE, LAUGH, & LOVE!
