Gratitude
Exactly what I was thinking and feeling last night as I turned onto the highway toward home after a particularly long and challenging week.
The sun was setting.
The air had turned cool again.
And quite frankly, I was mentally and emotionally exhausted.
But, as my favourite music danced through my vehicle and into my soul, and the sun sparkled and glistened in its final minutes I couldn’t help but feel grateful.
For the big things. Like the time to do what had to be done. For incredibly supportive siblings. For unending love from my husband and family.
I felt grateful for even bigger things. A setting sun to remind me every day is a new day. A cool breeze to remind me I am alive. Music to remind me I am not walking this journey alone.
I spent the rest of the ride counting my blessings. Friends. Family. Health. A warm home, a full fridge, and the forest trails that were waiting to welcome me back.
As the kilometers fell behind I smiled, sang, and acknowledged all the good in my world.
Once again I was balanced, mind, body, and spirit.
