Every morning I´m grateful and light
a candle,
is part of my morning ritual. I like
rituals...
I like celebrating and remembering
the important things in my life.
There is so much to be thankful for,
there are moments, people,
lessons, experiences to be grateful
about.
Recognition of the good and the bad
as part of our path,
the subtle moments we go through
everyday,
the little steps that take us slowly
to be a better version of ourselves...
I´m grateful above everything else
this year to MY FRIENDS,
to all of you, my imaginary
family
who have been so KIND, EMPATHIC,
GENTLE AND CAREFUL with me
the last year.
I´m grateful to your open hearts and
for opening your arms to me
with generosity and joy.
I´m so GRATEFUL for having all of you
around me
to protect me, to hug me, to listen
to me, to make me laugh,
to tell me the truth, to feed me, to
give me a refuge when I needed one,
to join me for the good and the
bad,
to be happy for my happiness and to
be worried about my sadness.
I´m so lucky to have you ALL in my
life,
the amount of love and understanding
I´ve had in this last year
has been so immense I think my heart
is exploding
and becoming more and more red each
day!
I appreciate the complications of
this past year of my life.
The confusion, the confilcts, the
sadness, the disappointments
the uncertainties, the tears and the
anxiety,
the tiredness and the failures.
I learned, I grew, I became stronger,
and humble.
I´m thankful for all of these too! as
for there is no light without darkness,
there is no laughter without
silence,
there is no creativity without
frustration.
I´ve been scared all my life... of
many things,
but not one of this things have
prevented me to keep on making mistakes
and I´m aware some of my decisions
have brought
confusion and sadness into my life
but....
(a big BUT)
I cannot imagine living another
way!
I want and will keep on MAKING
MISTAKES
and living to the fullest, cause at
the end my courage and my hope are bigger
than my fear and my caution.
I´m grateful FOR THE MAGIC and
MIRACLES
that keeps surrounding me everyday,
for life surprises,
for new friends, for lost friends,
for my days and my nights,
for my white sheets of paper and my
pencils,
I´m thankful for inspiration and for
my hot shower,
I´m grateful for my voice and my
laughter,
I´m grateful for my feet and my
hands, I´m grateful for my family,
for my sisters and my niece who will
be born in a month!!!
I´m grateful for having someone to
call when I´m lonely
and somewhere to hide when I want to
be alone,
I´m grateful for the accomplished
goals and finished paths.
I´m grateful to have cats, chocolate,
a big window,
warm socks, avocados, books and
sunshine!
I´m grateful to be able to walk and
sing,
I´m grateful to be myself, for my
work and for having so many memories
to keep adding to my life album
everyday.
My story is mine... is mine to
write
and I´m responsible for making it a
BEAUTIFUL, FUN, COLORFUL AND JOYFUL ONE!
I´ve never been static,
I believe in making my life happen
rather than to see it happen.
May you all have a hand to hold on to
and a smile to smile back at,
may you all have food in your
plates
and warm cozy sheets on your
beds,
may you all have peace in your hearts
and minds
and energy to wake up in the
morning;
may you have music to dance to and
arms to hug you,
may you all go to sleep at night
feeling calm and exhausted
and not restless and worried,
MAY YOU ALL BE HAPPY TODAY AND
EVERYDAY!
Happy Thanksgiving!
:)
