May you embrace this day, not just as any old day, but as this day. Your day. Held in trust by you, in a singular place, called now. |

I'm grateful for today.
My day.
A day to be happy I'm alive.
Grateful for the joy.
Yesterday I saw a graphic in my phone that said, "I'm happy that God had blessed us with another Tuesday." It was the message I sent to my mother to say good morning.
Later when we spoke, we both complained about our aches and pains, the arthritis, the pain that afflicts us both. As I was winding down, I repeated the good morning message. Even though I have this pain, I'm happy that God has blessed us with another Tuesday. And we laughed and discussed how lucky we are to still be able to use our legs and walk . . . even with the pain.
The anger of grief is gone and I can feel joy again.
