It is very early here on the west coast.
I have, in this moment, before the sky stretches from black to gray-blue, a cat curled up next to me in the bed (purring deeply), hot coffee on my nightstand, crisp air floating in from the open windows and a profound sense of gratitude for all the tiny things in my life that make me smile and fill my soul with meaning. I truly love moments when I can stop all the churning in my mind, and all the busy making in my life, and just feel grateful.

A while back, in one of those weird poetic moments that come over me, I wrote on Facebook
that you don't have to be religious, or even believe in God, to know what it feels like to be blessed. Do you find that's true? I hope you do. happy monday friends. xxoo
Beautiful words. I think gratitude and feeling blessed come from the soul. I don't think you have to believe in a God to feel blessed, but I do think you have to believe in life. Xx
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and I agree with you. If you are passionate about the things around you and the people you hold dear, gratitude and blessedness tends to flow in ever so easily.

Beautifully written, I feel like I'm there x
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. I don't have a religious faith, but I have faith in others and myself. I believe that my blessings are not just an act of something .... but a result of having lived a conscious and aware life, surrounding myself with similar minds and hearts and taking pleasure from simple beauties.
