Gratefulness for November 16 2015

On this day I want to talk about a few things I am grateful for at this moment.

My husband, who is eternally patient and resilient. He is my steady anchor in a dark sea as well as calm waters. At times he is so easy, it startles me how quickly we can turn things around. He is so sweet and funny. He wants to be happy. He wants to be good. He looks for the light.

The friends that I have stayed in touch with since high school are a special bunch. Their love makes me strong when I need it. They believe in me more than anyone in the world and this, above all else, gives me faith that I am good. Whatever challenges I face in life, I will find the best way, because they know me better than anyone.

I am terrified of death and sickness. Terrified. I need to make sure the ones I love know how much I love them. And that means I need to live abundantly, generously, lovingly. All the time. I need to feel the love coming back to me. I need reassurance. I need validation. Sometimes I get confused. And then I see these faces and I know so well, and suddenly it’s easy again. I just make things harder than I should sometimes. Love is easy but you have to ask for what you want sometimes.
