A month of gratitude: Day 6

🌼I am grateful for lessons learned over the past 18months. Boy have there been many. There have been bewildering moments, heartbreaking moments and fearful moments, all counterbalanced with moments of love and support from the expected and unexpected. Those counterbalancing moments have helped me “see the light”, learn the lessons and just push through. Let’s not forget all the prayers that have gone up(my own and those of friends) as well as the lessons in forgiveness. Forgiveness for myself and for others. I finally understand that I am enough as I am. Thank you for the lessons in love, acceptance, strength and forgiveness.🌼

Quote of the day: Pema Chödrön

“I have discovered, just as my teachers always told me, that we already have what we need. The wisdom, the strength, the confidence, the awakened heart and mind are always accessible, here, now, always.”

A month of gratitude: Day 5

🌼I am grateful that my problems are not insurmountable. Yesterday I woke up feeling a bit low. A little later, I heard of the passing of a woman that I went to school with and then I heard her story. My heart broke. Her problems put mine in perspective. So today I am grateful that each of my problems can be overcome and for my knowledge of and faith in God because He always has my back.🌼
