Today is the first of January 2016
The Earth completed a revolution around the Sun. We earthlings took stock of the twelve months past and paused. Then shouted Happy New Year.
I say to myself, its time to count my blessings
1. I take the important decisions in my life and and all the random decisions in my daily life. I am independent, able to do what I think is right . For that I am thankful.
2. I have people that love me, care about me, worry about me, that call me when I'm travelling, when I've reached my destination, when I'm sick, when its New Year :-) I have people to call when I'm feeling low, when I'm feeling high, when I'm angry. I have those who don't dislike me when I don't speak to them just because . For them I'm thankful.
3. I have in my life people who will never make it to 9PM prime time news, but possess souls that enrich my life and enrich this world. For them I'm thankful.
4. I have a happy child who is happy to be happy, who devours books, who asks countless questions, who fills me with joy just by being herself. For her I'm most grateful.
5. I have a body that I can put through an hour of gym, an hour of zumba and doesn't let me down. although it creaks in newer places each day :-) for my body I'm grateful.
6. I have that someone who stirred feelings in me so strong years back and continues to be my stronghold. A used t-shirt, a carelessly discarded tie can still make me pause and want to breathe in a lungful of that familiar scent. For him I'm grateful.
7. I live in a land that has never known violence , never been touched by terrorism, never been bombed nor held at ransom. For that I'm grateful.
8. I carry within me the spirits of my ancestors, people who walked before me and handed me DNA that compels me to respect the paranormal, respect that which I cannot sense with my limited human senses, that propels me to touch my forehead to the ground everyday in complete and utter surrender to Nature that sustains life. For the spirits and their guidance I'm grateful.
As I lay me down to sleep on this first night of 2016
As the Earth goes on another journey in a familiar path
As I prepare for Life ahead
I am grateful
I am grateful
I am grateful.
