“Every day, I try to remember all the ways I am blessed, beyond the chaos and bad things that happen. I take inventory and remember the wonderful people who love me.”
Ariana Madix
It amazed me when I came across the quote because it is the mindset I have had lately. I have practiced the Simple Abundance lifestyle of gratitude for a long time, but my current emphasis has been on all the wonderful people who have touched my life and how their presence in my life have blessed me in different ways. The love is what makes grief so horrible for me when they are gone, but the memories touch me deeply. And I am so very grateful for those awesome memories.
Not everyone is meant to be in our life forever. Sometimes God's plan for their presence in our lives is for a specific lesson and time. I'm strongly realizing everything that has happened to me is a lesson. The good and the bad.
We choose to not like what has happened at the time, but there is always something there to learn when we seriously think about it. In time I am almost always grateful for the lesson.
