Day Two. It doesn't take long to find three more things for which I am grateful. They are listed below.
1. Incredible friends. It has been said that if you can count true friends on one hand, you are more blessed than most people on this earth. I am very blessed. I have friends who are there...day or night. They see beyond my smile and know my heart. They know just when to ask if I am ok...really ok. They listen, laugh, love...and don't run when hidden tears need to fall. They also tolerate my silly, "laughing from my toes" outbursts. They value me consistently. They believe in me and they believe me. They are the real deal. True, trusted, tremendous friends. I am so grateful for each one.
2. Music. I do not remember my life without music. Ever. I remember singing when I was very young. Later, around four, I began playing piano. There was always music around me. I am so grateful for the beautiful, God-given gift that actually gives us a tiny glimpse of Heaven. Hearing, singing, playing, studying music has never ceased to amaze me. Knowing my God created music and even sings to me...inspires me. I am grateful for His incredible gift of music.
3. Life. I have seen life enter this world. I have seen it leave this world. I have seen life include joy, suffering, pain, peace, blessings, burdens, unforeseen tragedies and unexpected triumphs. I have seen tears of grief and shouts of joy. I have seen tears of joy and shouts of despair. I have seen lives heavy with pain and lives hiding despair. I have seen lives restored and lives healed. I know that life...each, amazing, tender moment...is a precious, irreplacable, immense and often incomprehensible gift.. I am grateful for its journey.
Thank You, God, for each amazing gift.♥~thl
