Posting

I haven't been posting lately. Why? Because my life has been troublesome and unhappy. I found it hard to find things to be grateful for. I know that these are the times when it is most important to be grateful. I will be gentle with myself. Just like with my mediation. I am gently bringing myself back to here, back to gratefulness, to gratitude.

• I am grateful for lavender, the fresh bright scent
• I am grateful for the cool, crisp morning air of autumn
• I am grateful for my beautiful, quiet cat, asleep at my feet as I write this, snoring peacefully
• I am grateful for my blogger friends who walk with me during these difficult times
• I am grateful for my in-life friends who also walk with me and have given me gentle hugs to soothe me
• I am grateful for my friends at CSM who have supported me so much in my growth as a stepmother, wife, and scarred but healing woman
