This month was an attempt to reflect on my life and share a little about it. It has been a rough summer (ok three years) with health issues. The tendency to feel sorry for myself for my ills and approaching another birthday was present. I had to turn it around and I did it with gratitude. Committing to list and write about what I was grateful for made me look at my life and realize just how blessed I was. During this month it seems like I was always be thinking about gratitude and looking for ways to express that gratitude.
I'll admit that I didn't write a selection every day; some days I wrote several selections. But I woke up every morning thinking about what I was grateful for. That's a pretty good way to wake up. This was not a gimmick or a way to get attention but a spiritual journey with friends. Some of you followed me daily and commented and many others read without comments. (I know because I see the site statistics.)
This exercise has reignited my love of writing. It is the cheapest therapy I could have and it allows me to say, on paper some things that would be difficult to admit in public. (Like this)
So, what's next? I will continue to use the LIVE! page to continue to prompt thought and discussion. I am plan to post more thought provoking questions and I solicit your suggestions. Leave a comment, message me, or click on contact me and complete the form if there is something you want to discuss. I look forward to hearing from you and keeping the conversation going.
