With Thanksgiving around the corner and the stress of work obligations, deadlines, schedules and the personal obligations at home, got me thinking about what's really important and whether I was focusing on the "right" things.
We often lose sight of what Life is all about. Sometimes we need to stop and take a few minutes to reflect on our lives and where we are going on a personal and professional level. What are YOU thankful for?
I'm thankful for...
- Being able to "see" the tall grass in our yard that needs cutting;
- Being able to "feel" muscles aching after a strenuous task or jaunt in the cold of winter or the heat of summer;
- Being able to "sit up, stand up, lie down" without assistance;
- Being able to say "Good morning" and know that it always is - if you allow it to be;
- Being able "to remember" good and bad times, faces, places, AT ALL;
- Being able "to realize" mistakes made with lessons learned and being able "to choose" to correct them;
- Being able "to love and be loved" unconditionally.
So, I'm grasping that one-way ticket on life's journey train as tightly as I can, knowing that
Being able to think, to cry, to laugh, to play, to appreciate, to love...
That's what life's all about and for which I'm eternally grateful.
