happy new year!
Hopefully this year we each get a chance to just BE for a moment (I have a great story from a friend, but I'm waiting on permisson to reprint) to recognize the beauty surrounding us and appreciate it all, the good and the bad. How lucky we are to EXIST. I think it's easy to forget that. We get so caught up in the current of our lives, all the millions of little things which nudge us or shove us or distract us or resist us along the way. We forget how amazing it is to BE here in the first place. How amazing each of us are! And how amazing it is that life leads us in crazy directions, often ones we didn't anticipate - it's so important to STOP for a moment and APPRECIATE it all. I've been thinking about appreciation and gratitude all last night and all day today. It's the most powerful, most healing, most peaceful place to put oneself.
