Today I celebrate good decisions. I offered to take on a position of service to my home group. I am meeting up with fellow singers with big hearts to rehearse our songs, and to sing for ourselves and our loved ones. I will visit with my ‘wasband’ for a bit. I share my daily (okay, almost daily) gratitude list with a friend. I am looking at the positive side of things, and am thoroughly enjoying my new car.
I have family to love. I have a lovely apartment in a friendly community, for a price I can afford. We socialize often. My joy is real and can only be dimmed when I allow it to be dimmed. I have way more than I need, and much of what I want. Life is pretty darn good.
When I reflect on these things, I feel that rush of dopamine, that ‘cellular gratitude’ I wrote about earlier. It washes through me, calming any fears and soothing my soul. It’s sweet, in just the best way. I am what I am, it is what it is, and all is well.
I’m spending the day doing things I love. I might bake something! I might have popcorn with lots of butter! I may even splurge and have eggs!
Gratitude, for it’s own sake, gives me inner peace—no strings attached.
