following along the gratitude trail...
here's one of my weekend gratitude stories...
visiting my guy's elderly pop. we're at the
medical center and he's up at the counter signing in.
i'm nearby waiting....looking at the board with all
the medical departments listed.
i'm standing there looking up reading all these departments
that i'm so glad are there for people...and so grateful
that i don't need any of them.
the oncology department listing stares back at me.
wow.
that has got to be so incredibly scary.
we stare at each other a bit....i step back and look
at the whole board and take a moment to be grateful
for my health.
as i sit in the waiting room and people hobble by,
i think of all the pain everyone deals with constantly.
one woman slowly walked by with her little girl. the
woman's face was scrunched in pain and she told her little
girl that her back hurt a lot. a moment later, i saw
her lovingly put her hand on her little girl's head.
i noticed the loving movement even in the extreme pain.
thought about how hard it is to be kind and loving when
you're hurting. yet she managed it.
i realized how lucky i was at that moment. and as i moved
thru my day, i appreciated the steps, the movements, the
pain free motions.
may not last forever....so i'm going to enjoy it while
i've got it! the reminders are gold to me!
