How do you measure Gratitude?
Good Evening Community
I know it has been a little bit since I last posted. Just trying to heal those nasty mouth, throat and stomach sores. It is slow going but healing is occurring.
I want to share some thoughts with you. Thru this process I have had the opportunity to practice the receiving of Love and prayer and generosity. In the past it has been easier to give then to receive. But it is important to be able to do both. That balance is so important.
The question that has come to my mind is this.....How do you measure Gratitude? How in the world could I ever "repay" all that has been given to me and my husband and my family? How can express my deep deep gratitude....do I do it with words...in cards...in prayers...will it ever be enough?
I don’t think there is a correct answer to that question.
Perhaps the answer is Being "IN" Gratitude all the time. That could mean just being grateful for our breath...or it could be Wow I am so grateful for the way I am supported, or thank you for my health...or thank you that I was able to eat without throwing up. Whatever is relevant to that moment…
So I am learning that as I wake up and take my meds or eat my oatmeal, or pee in the cup or walk the halls or have my vitals taken or play Uno with my family, or snuggle with Noah or receive my Donors Stem Cells, I AM... I embody Gratitude.
I stand surrounded by Gratitude and it is being sent thru my fingers tips into your eyes as you read this message.
Thank you everyone for everything you do everyday. Not just for me and my situation but for everything you do to make this world an even more sweet and loving place.
