Live

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.” ~ Agatha Christie

Many times while walking & sometimes dragging through difficulty I have found myself, though in a dark place, still reaching out in gratitude. For all the things that I can & should be grateful for.

 

I understand that being chipper or trying to crack a smile some days can feel almost impossible. I get it.

But blessings still abound. You may just have to squint a little.

 

Are we alive? Sheltered? Fed?

Then we have much more than so, so many of our brothers & sisters do across this wide world.

 

We may just need to shift a little – or a lot, to re-focus.

On what matters.

On what we have vs. what we don’t.

 

Whether abased or abounding –

To be content in all things is priceless.

I want that.

I am inching towards it more each day.

Join me.

 

Much love y’all – and more living,

 

Bonnie
