Life

[eimarra]

I’m grateful to be alive. I don’t always say it, but it’s true. Things could have gone much worse when I had my accident. Also, as long as I’m alive, I know that things will change. Circumstances may get better, they may get worse, but they will change. I tend to look for them getting better, and I tell myself, “This, too, shall pass,” when I’m feeling really down. It doesn’t always convince me, but even when my heart doesn’t believe, my mind knows it’s true.

This, too, shall pass — this Monday, this slump, this whatever. I am alive and grateful for it.

What are you grateful for today?

Today I'm grateful for being alive and in love while the gentle rain soaks the dry ground. Grateful for the moment.

:) Indeed.

It's a simple sort of day.
