Mindfulness, Gratitude, and Rest The Narrows, Zion National Park h/t Lindsay Marotta 2015 |
Dear Universe,
Thanks for . . .
- My parents- and their warm welcome at every stage of
life (even the angsty ones).
- A special needs brother- who stretches, stresses, and
continues to teach me.
- Coffee (And 1% milk with a dash of cinnamon)
- Grammie- a “grand mentor” and spirit guide.
- Outstanding achievements and horrifying failures.
- The lousy boyfriends I dated before "the
one."
- Chocolate.
- The responsibility of raising two wonderful people (stretch
marks are fading).
- Losses that taught me to appreciate life.
- Nature. Including needy squirrels, and pesky mosquitoes.
- Remarkable friends- some lifelong, others time limited.
- Red wine (shared with above mentioned friends).
- Well-deserved laugh lines.
- The world wide web AND screen free zones.
- Talents that shape me.
- Weaknesses that humble me.
- Today.
Thank you Universe for
fifty (plus) years of love, loss, joy, and sorrows.
Sincerely,
Me
P.S. If it isn’t too
much to ask- I’d like fifty more tomorrows.
