This one sentence describes the way I feel right now perfectly.
My heart feels so full I find it difficult to type. My son is trying to teach me to meditate, thinking of a thing I’m thankful for, closing my eyes, feet flat on the floor, FEELING that gratitude flow through me.
That is what I felt just now when I found this. Overwhelming gratitude that
- my husband is comfortable in the nursing home,
- that I’m living close to our son and that we spend such wonderful time together,
- that I’m safe and incredibly well cared for,even though I’m in a new country where I don’t speak the language, don’t know many of the customs yet, am just learning the money, and am totally dependent on my son for everything
- that I can spend my days in joyful activities, like writing this blog, sketching something and painting it, reading a good book, working on a jigsaw puzzle, listening to music, taking a walk, watching TV or a movie, taking a nap in the middle of the day, enjoying a mocha, watching the traffic
- that I have friends from the states that I’m able to keep up with, and more friends from my blog, so we can help each other through tough times or laugh together
- that I am getting healthier every day, adding to my exercises, eating right, drinking water, and getting enough sleep
We are all in this world together, helping each other the best way we can with what we have at the time, knowing there is care and love behind it. May we make our world a kinder place with everyone feeling as happy as I do right now.
