Life is a scary but beautiful thing. Sometimes a nightmare can scare the sense back into me. Think for a minute. Realize how blessed and fortunate I am. Life and the fast paced nature of it all can make me high strung and too focused on unimportant things like work and stupid details. Sometimes it's hard to reflect on how great it is. Then a nightmare forces me to remember. I shouldn't wait for a nightmare. I should take time each day to be grateful.
I am the luckiest lady alive. I have tremendous support, a great love of my life, a phenomenal family, extended family, great and beautiful friends, two adorable cats and a rewarding job to name a few.
I have no enemies. While I am strong willed, opinionated and passionate, I have a heart that is capable of forgiveness. I work extremely hard to not hold onto anger and resentment. Learning how to forgive myself and others is the most gratifying feeling I have known in my short and beautiful life. I have empathy and that starts with being mindful of the positive things. Faith is powerful. Love is supreme. Realizing how short and beautiful life is should be a daily practice.
Life is fragile. Sickness, accidents, unresolved feelings and tragedies can take everything we take for granted away in an instant. Nightmares are blessings because, although disturbing, they shake us up enough to appreciate what we've got.
Good night, sleep well.
