wisdom everyday

How do I count my blessings?

Its one thing to know that we have to be thankful for what we have –and another to actually feel it.

I think I feel lucky in bits and pieces. Unfortunately its more so when i see the differently abled-or the lesser privileged I begin to thank my stars-for the wonderful kids that I have, and my friends, my work, et al.

This feeling-I think, most of us get……….

The important thing is in remembering it day after day-in fair weather as well as rainy days.

When I wake up in the morning-it feels like a “good morning” and I look forward to the day. The day full of its ups and downs, a day packed with work and errands, with kids and cooking. Mundane things.

BUT in between all this we find time-not consciously, to feel good about ourselves, and we smile at a stranger, do a good deed, and feel content.

Meeting a long lost friend, and talking about where I am today, helps me to reflect on my current place in the world…….

That’s when I say –yes….things are great……and I look at all of life’s faces, some good, some bad, but all accepted. We need more moments of introspection to bring this realization into a part of our everyday being.

To be able to sleep in peace-looking forward to another daybreak, the pink of dawn turning into a full blown sunny day-with all its joys and sorrows.

its just another day for you and me in paradise.......
