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 1: I Am Grateful for Exceptional Sleep
I realized just today that I often take for granted the amount of sleep I am able to get. I stayed up until 1 am finishing laundry last night and got up at 4 am this morning to help get my significant other ready for his trip. This means I got 3 hours of sleep. My body suffers terribly today. I could barely keep my eyes open after he left around 6 AM,
My point is, is that it made me think of how many hours my significant other works. And how his tired hours are spent using as much mental capacity as he can muster for as long as possible. I could barely function. I need sleep. And it reminded me that with the exception of last night, I am usually able to get a good nights rest. While days can be filled with conflicts and our lives lie far outside of perfection, he has helped me build a life that allows me much rest, And I am so grateful for that.
