Returning to work after a week of vacation is rarely at the top of anyone’s list of things they love to do, mine included. But, return to work I had did. I suppose there is a reason for gratitude, though. I did have a job to return to, there are many who don’t. All in all, it was a good week. I’ve spent most of the week in solitude, just me and the cats, and that’s ok.
I have so very many blessings in my life, so many things for which to be grateful. I often write about how grateful I am for my wonderful friends, and this week is no different. I have so many wonderful people in my life who truly care about me. That’s priceless. I’m grateful for reconnecting with so many people from my past through social networking sites such as facebook or myspace.
This week I’ve found myself on a spiritual quest, a little more so than usual. I feel a passion growing within me for things spiritual, not necessarily things religious, but things that cause me to grow. I’m on a quest for peace, understanding, a reconciliation of my belief system. I’ve been doing a lot of reading and a lot of introspection. I’m grateful for this development in my life.
Here’s my confession: I’m so grateful for the little things that have taken place in my life this week. The people, the things and the peace I’m finding in my life. I’m grateful as I look over at the cat lying beside me and I think of just how peaceful he looks. I’m grateful for the wholeness that I’ve found in my life over the last year, for the glimpses of the true me that are beginning to shine through.
There are days that I screw up and I fall back into my old ways, I have moments of self-loathing, of saying things that are taken the wrong way, I don’t think before I speak. I am grateful for people who know me better than the idiot who sometimes lives in me and makes stupid mistakes. I’m grateful for forgiveness. I’m grateful for talents and strengths I am discovering along the way.
Mostly, this week, I’m so grateful for life, for the opportunity to experience new opportunities and grow.
