Life challenges us; we all know that. Sometimes I forget to be grateful for this life I have. I focus on the things that bring me worry and anxiety and the big one – FEAR. Let’s name it. Fear…fear that I’m doing it wrong, making mistakes, missing something. Afraid to make a move, paralyzed. Well, as I sit in my car about to dive to work and teach middle school, I needed to pause and show my gratitude for another day. Another day to try again. I get another day in this profound, confusing, joyful existence. I will not take it for granted.
I am grateful that this morning I remember that I am brave. I am grateful for my old friend Anne, who without even knowing it, reminded me a little bit of who I am. I am grateful for this new day that I have to challenge myself, find joy, and make a difference.
