My plight to find love again is beginning through appreciation
which seems like it should be an obvious choice for us as we interact with those we love. After all, whether we realize it or not, WE MAKE A CHOICE EVERYDAY to have them in our life. Quite frankly there are many days it is a pure struggle to stay in the game of family, of love, and in running a good race. So in an attempt to find the good, in those I love - my plight is appreciation. And so begins my 100 Days of Gratitude.
Day 2: I Am Grateful for Freedom of Religion, Speech, and Press
I wanted to share a quick note of gratitude I discovered yesterday when my significant other said to me, "living in the moment is different than being scared of your future" when I was talking about the marshmallow experiment I did on our 6 year old. My first gratitude point is that he doesn't attack me for experimenting on our girls. And two, he's not forcefully against any of my pursuits for religious clarity, human discovery through yoga/meditation, and/or my pursuit of intuitive knowledge. Not to mention, the fact that I share these discoveries/perspectives with our girls.
Which brings me to my third point, open-mindedness. I'm grateful for the life journey of discovery that I'm on. I'm not always sure what to label my thoughts, perspectives & findings. But I appreciate that whatever my discoveries are, whether they seem Christian, Buddhist, or just a simple endeavor in Kindness, a Passion, anti-Christian, anti-church, or a self proclaimed Divine Enchantment - I'm not afraid to express it to him.
Most people would think I'm crazy, insist that I am an ungodly person, and still others may try to silence me as an absurdity. But I appreciate that I have no hesitancy in expressing myself and my journey in complete honesty. I am so grateful for my environment of open-minded individuals who embrace my crazy. The freedom of expression I revel in at home propels my mission to help others outside of my home. It is truly a gift and I am so, so grateful.
