I am grateful
I am grateful to be alive. Seriously, I have had times in my life where I have been closer to death that I probably realized. I am grateful that at 51 years old I am alive. Not only am I alive, given the ways I have abused my body in previous years past, I am in remarkably good health. I am grateful to be alive.
I am grateful to be present. Today in my life, I see the sunrises, I hear the birds chirping, I listen to the people who choose to talk to me. It's not perfect, and, I am not always in today. I look toward tomorrow, next week, even, the years ahead. I sometimes dwell on the past, getting stuck in what might have been, what could have happened differently, or, some other version of changing a story from my past. For the most part though, on my morning walks, and at times throughout the day, I am able to be present in the time there is. I am able to sit and listen and respond with clarity. I am present and able to function in life that presents itself to me how life sees fit. I am grateful to present.
I am grateful for the world around me. In a past life the world around me was not kind. The world kept handing me a terrible mess. One problem after another with no solution to follow. Today I get to participated fully in the world around me. The amazing things, the normal and mundane stuff, and, even the painful periods of life. I GET to participate. No longer am I a victim to what the world is around me. I choose, on a daily basis to love life with what is placed in front of me by people, places, things, and situations. I am grateful for the world around me.
I am grateful for humans in my circle. My circle of influence today is massive. I have multiple people in my personal and professional world who influence me in amazing ways. There was a time in my past where my circle of influence was small, and, those in it were not always the best to have influencing me. Today I get to be around amazing people; I mean that, amazing people. From my personal world to my professional world, I GET to be around others who encourage, challenge, and love me in powerful ways. I am grateful for the humans in my circle.
