Awe and gratitude 7-21-2016


It is so true, I really am!  I am shown blessing after blessing, day after day and I am in awe of it all and grateful for it as well.  I never know what the day will bring, I am not really a long range planner, which may or may not be to my detriment (who is to say?) and rather live in each moment as it comes.  But in "going with the flow" and offering no resistance to what is, I am blessed beyond belief.

I love surprises, adventure, beauty and oddly enough the smell of a skunk, of all things.  Granted, we do not have any skunks on the island and I kind of miss those little creatures and for me I relate the "smell" of them to that of puppy breath.  I always have.  Go ahead, try to conjure up the smell of when a puppy licked all over your face and that smell, to me, is so similar.  And I digress, as I do..

Oh, yeah, on surprises, to me all of life is one surprise after another because I do not know what each new moment will bring. Or who it will bring.  And I love that. Even the most mundane things for most people are an adventure for me, all new and fresh, each and every time.  Even my housemate will tell me when I leave the house, no matter where I am off to, she will say "have fun on your adventure" because she knows for me it will be.  She gets me :-D

I am open to whatever the Universe wants to show me and I am continually asking for it to help me be more accurately intuitive like I was when I was young.  And I do go out with an open mind, an open heart and the desire to enjoy every moment of it.  Most days I am successful at seeing all the beauty and wonder and blessings, even if I don't know what else I am to understand from it on any given day.  But I do enjoy it immensely.

Although I do not live in the past, it is fun to look back and see where I have been and how far I have come.  I have so many wonderful memories and those that were less than pleasant at the time, I do not hold on to the feelings I had in the past about them.  I can look back and say I have had a very full and blessed life.  Not in a material sense but overall I have the most beautiful memories of people, places and events that I have experienced.  And looking at all of that and what I feel today I can say:

I am in awe and gratitude for blessing after blessing, day after day.
