I try to be thankful everyday, but sometimes I get trapped in my Tilt-A-Whirl brain, going back and forth, around and around, on a useless orbit of self-doubt. The only way to stop the dizzying assault is sleep. Fortunate that my sleep aberration allows me relief from my relentless inquisition.
It is a gift. I must remember when I am disgusted by the sloth-like creature that can not move after 7:00. I am thankful for medications that keep me awake alert and able to function at my job. I am so grateful for work that is challenging, inspiring and fun, a family who accepts and loves me despite everything, the animals who bless my life without judgment, endless forgiveness and a joyful spirit.
There is much to treasure on this big earth. The people I have walked with, even for a few steps on this incredible adventure have shared their life, their time. Some have moved on to another road and those I miss dearly, but there is hope, for new possibilities, frontiers, because forward is the only way this path goes.
