GRATITUDE FRIDAY
Cultivating a Gratitude for Life: Embracing the Gift of Being Alive
Because each day offers a miracle
Spirit, thank you for the gift of life. Thank you for how You are showing me how to embrace myself as a gift and knowing that being alive is a miracle in itself. Let me always be Light in the world.
Have you ever thought about how fragile life is?
It seems that 2022 and the few years prior to it (because of COVID) showed the world how fragile life is. Maybe you also witnessed the loss of someone near and dear to you in the last few years.
But even if it was a while ago, if the person had an impact on you, chances are you hold dear memories. That’s how I am with memories of my Dad. This year marks 26 years of my father being gone and there are some years when it nears the anniversary that I find myself missing him a lot.
I am grateful for his life touching mine in ways that have impacted me. He was eclectic, quirky, brilliant, and kind — all rolled into one. The year he passed away I began silently counting the ways I was grateful that I was his daughter.
