Windswept....Jan. 9 2015

It's stormy outside.  Fits perfectly for my mood.  Also "storming" in my thoughts. Gusts of emotions, from positive to negative. Back and forth.

BUT, this morning I realized one thing, and very important thing. It sounds absolutely simplistic, and maybe even naive....I have every reason to be happy, grateful and even every reason to let go all my windswept emotions and thoughts.




Simply....because I am ALIVE.  I am able to breathe, think, talk, and that in itself is enough.  The rest is blessings.

Maybe because of the shocking and horrible dramas, and tragedies in the last days, weeks and months;  I am confronted with the very basic and simple fact....it can be so over for me. Dead. Gone. But...today....I am thankfully: ALIVE.

It makes all my worry, and stressing about the "problems" in my life (real or imagined, or self made up) seems silly, trivial, or down right self centered and egotistical.

Today I will try to look outside of myself and my self created worry world....and just be totally aware that I am OK, and that I am ....here and now. That in itself is more than enough.  Being alive is a miracle to be celebrated.
