I'm Grateful For These Little Things:
Breathing - Sight - Speech - Hearing - Mobility - The way her voice smiles when she says mommy - The way he hugs me tightly when he returns from work - The love I receive from my nieces and nephews - The peace I feel when I pray - Learning to live a stress free life - When my puppy son flops on his back so that I can rub his tummy - My gray hairs - the arthritis in my left hip - IBS - When a beautiful person surprises me with their kindness - That I write and can read poetry - Hot Chocolate - Vanilla Soy Milk - Relaxing baths with my different bath gels (Heavenly) - Scented Soy Candles - Music - Reading a good book - Cuddling on the sofa and laughing at The Golden Girls or Frasier - Watching nature bloom - Talking with my sisters - Creating cards for kids - Loving and being Loved.
All of these little things bring me great Joy. I choose to embrace the gray hairs, arthritis and IBS. Because the alternatives could be so much more devastating.
And as we say in Louisiana - Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez = Let the Good Times Roll!!!
