Today I am thankful for...
lessons learned.
-Don't waste energy fretting about things that will happen on their own good time. They may be good, they may be bad, but they will happen and you can't stop them.
-There are exciting and awe inspiring things right under our noses, we just have to keep our eyes open and look down every once in a while, instead of focusing so much on what the future may hold. (See the rabbit? I nearly jumped out of my leg warmers when I saw how close we were!)
-Try not to be jaded and if you are, don't pass it on to your child. (I almost went into my lecture about how it is not a good thing that the rabbit let us get so close because there are people who would harm a wild animal that isn't afraid of humans...but I shut my mouth and appreciated the magic of the moment.)
-Take a risk; walk on the edge sometimes.
-Death happens. We might not understand it, it might make us sad, but we shouldn't look away from it. Appreciate the life and beauty that was.
-We might have to circle around for a while before we figure out where we're going. That's okay.
-Things can always be worse. (You may have fallen into the rabbit poop, but you could have fallen onto the thorny rose bush.)
What are you thankful for today?
