In Search of Blessings
A few weeks ago I promised myself to focus at least once a week on the things I am blessed by, the moments I am grateful for.
Today I really need to do that. Despite being at the "happiest place on earth" I am dealing with an emotional roller coaster and several challenges that lead to sleepless nights and lots of tapped down emotions (although my personal volcano has erupted several times). It's a journey into things I'm supposed to ignore, keep hidden, never discuss--for if I do, I am just "being dramatic" or "oversensitive" never just feeling the things I feel.
So I must focus on being grateful and thankful. I must focus on the moments that make life worth living.
But again I have to fight the urge to qualify, to say "I'm thankful for . . . but . . . "
So . . .
I'm thankful that I have in-laws who are willing to take us on a family adventure, and that my mother was able to come.
I am truly blessed to have a partner in life who understands, and recognizes the value of waiting for the sunrise.
I realize how lucky I am to be able to spend a few days in a magical place, away from the normal stresses of life.
I am grateful to have blessings to count, and sunsets to witness, and beauty to experience such as the wonders of nature. I'm fascinated by the birds here.[gallery type="rectangular" ids="7342,7343,7344,7345,7332"]
