Today is a day that I have to dig down deep for my gratitude toward change. That space between where you were and where you’re going can seem gray and overwhelming. I’m grateful for the free things in life, like sunshine and sunsets, and lemon with your iced tea. And, I’m grateful for my intuition, which grows ever stronger.
I’m grateful I don’t fear change. Humans tend to catastrophize change. I suspect it’s because we are such creatures of habit that any disruption should be avoided. But if we never changed, we would never grow, and we couldn’t have a bunch of babies running the world. I’m grateful for the canal behind my house, and the Mallard family that’s living there. And, I’m grateful for Waba bowls. Quickly becoming a go-to.
I’m grateful that Mercury is in retrograde. Normally, I wouldn’t say that, but this has been a year of unprecedented change; a cosmic pause and celestial reflection seem in order. And I’m grateful that I have a virtual job. I’m very grateful for a clean house. And, I’m grateful for Yelp. So much better than the Yellow Pages.
Today I’m grateful for acceptance. Like most people, I’ve thought about self-acceptance more than the acceptance of others. I need to accept that I cannot change who people are, how the love, or their circumstances. Today I understand that more fully and deeply than I have before, and even though I’m sadden by this understanding, it also makes feel free and at peace with the universe. I’m very grateful.
