Today is definitely a day to notice all of the things in my life I am grateful for. Jay, first of all, and his miraculous transformation since that night he ended up beneath the cab of a semi. We've gotten to spend a lot of time together this summer and I am amazed at the person he has become, and thankful for his friendship and support!
I am grateful for being born to two loving parents, who taught me the value of hard work and staying true to myself. I have never been hungry a day in my life, and have always had a comfortable bed to call mine. Their unconditional willingness to help me do anything constantly amazes me, and I am truly fortunate to be able to depend on them.
As difficult as it is to force myself through my regular workout routines, I am aware that I am physically able and healthy enough to push myself that way, which is definitely a blessing most of us take for granted.
I also have a deep affection for this planet we inhabit, specifically my beautiful mountains and Colorado Blue skies, and the coasts with their powerful and infinite rolling waves.
I am extremely fortunate that I have been privileged to explore other parts of the world, and I deeply appreciate my open mind and awareness of other cultures and life experiences.
On this day, in particular, after three homes next door were destroyed by a terrible fire, I am blessed that I have a house. It may be riddled with construction shortcuts that have complicated our time here, but it is mine. I have hot water and functional plumbing, which is not something everyone in the world can say. I also have a lovely dining room table that is frequently full of food and surrounded by people I love. We were very fortunate to escape any damage from the flames, heat, smoke, water and foam.
As uncomfortable as I feel like my life is at the moment, I am extremely blessed to be where I am, and to have been where I have.
