The past few days have had moments of darkness, but not for long. . . .
With each deep breath, I have found myself amazed at the gifts that surround me. I feel felt loved and valued; supported and cared for. Dark moments have come and gone quickly, while the gifts remain embedded in my being. Here are the ones that jumped out at me quite easily:

Over the past year, I have decided that I have the power to decide how I will walk through life’s journeys. While some moments are tough to navigate, looking a little further has the ability to fill my soul with the fuel it needs.
While I am bone tired, I am feeling invigorated by the awareness that dark moods don’t have remain imbedded in my being. Gifts really do surround me nearly at every corner.; all I have to do is notice them.
