I am grateful today.  I woke up!  I am healthy, I have a beautiful family, I have awesome friends, I have a wonderful home, I have a good job, I can pay my bills, I have a reliable car, I can breath!  I AM LIVING!

Sometimes I lose focus to where I want to go.  Some days are difficult whether I am moody, or angry, or tense, or sad.  Right now the reality is I can see that these are all feelings of "living."  This sure beats the alternative.  I am so lucky to have my health and my family's health as some are not so fortunate.  Some day I may endure this kind of pain but today I don't and if I live in this moment I can enjoy the best day of my life.  I have faith today that all will play out as it should. 

The quote about life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful is one of my favorite quotes now.  Pain is part of living.  But for the most part if we choose to see clearly, we will see that most seconds are and/or can be wonderful if we want them to be.  Umcomfortable moments are bound to happen (and they have), but I am still standing, I made it through, and I can say all of those moments have made me a better person. 

Today I am humble.  I love life and my choice is to Live...just for Today.

May you all find peace in your heart.  xoxo
