Gratefulness

Gratefulness 

If you know me or follow me you know that I am always present in each and every moment. I am grateful for everything in my life, so much so that, at times, it brings me to tears. 

I don't want to have any regrets. No, I should haves or I wish I would have. I want to take each day, each moment, and truly enjoy them. I finally got a new car after 12 years with my old one. As if I couldn't be grateful enough, that first weekend I got to take it to my favorite place, the beach. Now living in South Florida, you know we have two seasons, hot and hotter, and we wait all year for the few beautiful weeks of semi cool. Well, that Saturday was the day. It was the most perfect beach day. Not a cloud in the sky, the perfect breeze, not too hot, just amazing. 

As I sat there and wrote this and many other blogs (this is a truly inspirational place for me to write), I thought about how grateful I am. For this day, for this moment, for my life. 

Look, I am real, and I tell you all the time about my failures and my pain because this is real life, and we all have those moments. Even if social media makes it seem like everyone's life is perfect, it is definitely not. But with all of that, I am still grateful as it could have been another way. 

So today my friends remember, yes, life may be hard at times, but we must be grateful for the good times as well as the bad. The bad times teach us lessons. They teach us patience and perseverance. The good times are the icing on the cake, and when you get some days like these, it is all worth it. And I am truly grateful.
