gratitude

What if the very existence of your mundane day to day was the answered prayer?

I find as Humans we consistently seek, yearn, ask, beg - particularly in times of struggle to a source for answers.

We fail to understand that this mundane task of folding laundry, mopping the floor and paying yet another past due bill is the sacred answer.

I know this is controversial and hard to grasp.

Yet, I also know deeply within my heart and soul that G-d is speaking to me through these moments.

“You are alive my Beautiful Child”. - I imagine the words beaming from his/her ever loving heart to mine, “For I have created you in the image and likeness.”

So what does this mean?

I can only speak for myself and my many spiritual experiences that have occurred during my most painful, troubled times, which led me to truly believing in a Higher Power.

I now find peace with a smile as I wash the dishes, dust my shelves and pay that daunting bill.

For I AM ALIVE!!!

Another day to feel the sun kiss my skin.

Another moment to hug my loved ones.

Another delicious meal to wake my senses.

Another dance in the kitchen while I hum to myself.

Another belly filled with laughter at lunch with Friends.

Another remarkable gazing up at the starry night sky.

Another tear falling my eye, in grief or joy.

WE are the Prayer.

The Living Prayer of the Human Experience.

Our pain, our struggles, our diagnoses, have not left us unworthy.

Have they made us weathered, yes.

Have they made us question our very existence and beliefs, many times.

Have they also left us more tender and compassionate, yes - always.

We are the Living Prayer - Warrior and Warrioress of the Mighty Light.

I am grateful for all of the support I have received throughout this medication change. It hasn't been simple or graceful nor has it been anything but an uphill battle always two backwards and 1/2 foot upwards, yet I am grateful for my journey and my motivation for change because I deserve it!

A month was yesterday since the end of a horrible traumatic period of my life, especially the last two years, with an extremely traumatic event, of losing a dear person to those who tormented me all this time. So how have I been doing since? I'm freed. It took time, but grateful to have nothing to do with these people again. And people can be saved only if they choose to. And I chose to.
And I am grateful to the amazing company I work for, And my coworkers. To my family And friends, to my activities. To you all for the support. And here is my #photodiary about the recovery.
1. To signify the end And also for security I painted my hair red. 2. My theology books. 3. My dance shoes 4. My town 5. My leotards And costumes 6. My pharmacy books 7. My sign of hope, the spider 8. My music instrument, 9. Part of my new tattoo.

I haven’t been up to much lately but I have been able to read and that’s amazing because I always get distracted! Reading the Gita allows me to see how similar Hinduism and Buddhism are and I see even connections to my previous beliefs- in Christianity. The poetry is beautiful and one of the major themes- the soul- is timeless. I am grateful to be reading something useful these days and also grateful I got a haircut this week. #Glimmers #Gratitude #gratitudeandglimmers #PTSD

Day Four - write three things you are grateful for.

Here are mine:

I am grateful for the water I drink.

I am grateful for the park I walk my dog in.

I am grateful for the fresh air I breathe outside.
