My life has been pretty blessed and I know a lot of folks out there can't say that. So it might seem easy for me to be grateful right? I feel choosing gratitude is a conscience changing of one's perspective and that's a challenge. It's not easy to be positive and to look around at simple tiny things and be grateful for them. Usually, a catalyst causes people to turn their perspective around and then sometimes you meet someone who's just born happy and grateful no matter what happens in their life. I'm not one of those...I'm the former. I know, I said my life has been pretty blessed, but I've definitely had a catalyst (or two) to help me see things in a more positive light. Life has thrown some curves at me and I don't consider myself strong or a "fighter"; honestly I don't know why I've made it through some of things I have. I truly feel that God has had his eye on me. Why? I don't know. Perhaps because I've acknowledged Him and cried out to Him. I don't know. But I DO know, God heard me. God, the universe, the powers that BE...heard me.
So there's my emotional blogburst for the week! Really, it's when I wake up, walk out to my studio, see the work I'm able to do, kiss my soulmate, hug my son goodbye for school, counsel my young adult daughter, live in the beautiful northwest, pet my silly dogs and breath in the air as a healthy human...that's what does it. "Do what you love" they say..right? Do what makes your soul sing. Listen to it. It could lead you in directions you never thought possible.
