Being grateful all the time

Being grateful all the time 

I write about this all the time, because this is such a huge thing in my life. I am so grateful for every day, for every second of my life, I live in the moment, I love big, and I live large.

Even with all that is going on now in our world, even with the quarantine, with no money coming in and everyone worrying about what is to be, I am still grateful.

 In these times I am grateful for being able to spend time with my girls, to have this quiet time together. I am grateful for having a home and food to eat. I am grateful for our heath and that God has chosen to give us another day here on earth.

See I know it could be another way. Hell, it was for so many years and I remember those days like it was yesterday, and I know I never want to go back there ever again.

I remember last year when I was blessed with a trip to Hutchinson Island for a 3 day Motivational speaker conference. A dear friend gave it to me and while I was there I got to meet some amazing people and learned how to do what I want, this writing and speaking as a full time career.

As I was driving home from that weekend, I thought about the whole trip. I thought about my dear friend who I went with, my new friends I had met and the endless possibilities that lie ahead of me on this next journey of my life and I started to cry.

See I am so grateful about where I am, about where I am going, I am grateful for all the things in my life that it literally brings me to tears. It overwhelms me to think about how blessed I feel, to know in spite of my incredibly hard life I had, that I have overcome it all. I overcame the darkest, deepest hole, that I clawed my way out of. I overcame disappointment, loss and failure to be in a space of gratitude.

I overcame rape, drug and alcohol addiction, and even a 24 year verbally abuisve marriage. I overcame fear, self doubt and self hatred to be in this place of love.

I know that now I am constantly learning, constantly changing to become a better person, to help others see if I can do it, you can do it too. I am here to speak my truth, to let whoever will listen, know what God has done for me. To give praise to him, to speak his name and know that without him none of this would have been possible.

There is not a day that goes by that I don't give him thanks as soon as I open my eyes. That I don't give thanks even during the storms, even while life is coming at me hard and fast and I feel like I can't breathe, I am still giving thanks, I am still filled with gratitude.

Yes, I cry, I cry all the time, but now these are tears of joy, tears of gratefulness, tears of forgiveness and love. I can remember when they used to be tears of sorrow, of hatred, of unforgiveness, self hate, guilt and of being unfulfilled.

So much has changed in my life, because I've changed it. I stepped out, I decided enough was enough and I moved on.

I left all of these feelings in the past. Was it easy? Oh hell no, nothing worth anything is easy but ask me  was it worth it and I will start crying as I tell you how worth all the pain was.

So today my friends, remember you can do anything you set your mind to. Even in these trying times you can find something to be grateful for if you try. You need to change your mindset to one of gratitude, change your life and you too will be feeling grateful all the time.

"Be the change you want to see"
