Wandering our windy island this week, I was trying to think of something pithy to write about; but all that kept coming up were spring thoughts of gratitude — this season of resurrection, new beginnings, fresh journeys. Sharing a deeper part of myself on this thin edge of electronic paper may help me remember to give thanks more often…to ask for less, to be content with the magic that surrounds me always, and continue to inspire others with sacred simplicity. The following is a partial reckoning. Gratefulness knows no bounds.
My husband’s, children’s and grandchildren’s love; women’s community and good friends; good eyes and ears; my bed; the creativity that is in me; plentiful food; hot fudge sundaes; the ability to write; the opportunity to help others reach their dreams; freedom; living near the ocean; the openness to continually grow; the ability to work and help others enhance their lives; the soft fur on our cats; walking in the woods; my computer; and on, and on, and on.
Perhaps you will take a few minutes this week to delve deeply and acknowledge your own gratefulness. I would love to discover what makes you smile, what inspires you, the passion that you bring to life. If you don’t have a long list, I’m happy to chat with you. Maybe we can fill up a few pages. In the meantime, I wish for you a most glorious season of hope and happiness…and new beginnings.
