The wonderful blessings of a new day. How lucky are we to greet the sun every morning? To take in a fresh breath of air? Be given a new opportunity to start all over again? It’s pretty amazing, if you think about it. A lot of times, we all become so infatuated with what we did in the past or worried about tomorrow, consequently forgetting the blessings we’re currently savoring. I say this because I can’t help but think how sometimes I can become so complacent about the things in my life. Sometimes even acting like these wonderful things are supposed to be there. Family, health, love, employment, food, water, clothes, shoes, ect. The list can go on an on. I think these reality check points are extremely necessary in this journey we call life. You know how they say to “count your blessings every day,” well, it’s about time I start being more appreciative. Perhaps shift mentalities and think about these daily blessings like the act of receiving meaningful gifts everyday. Get excited waking up. Get excited to eat breakfast. Get excited when you shower with clean water. Get excited as you drive your own car. Get excited to feed your dog. Just get excited about this life, because it’s truly a gift that has no price attached. Remind yourself that there is no one like you in the world. Your life is unique and special. Think about a new day as a platform set up for you to live out your life and to create the stories that mean something. So with this, I end my note telling you all, have a WONDERFUL day and enjoy your gift.
