Giving Thanks at Thanksgiving
Posted 11-24-2008 at 10:30 PM by hairgirl
The amount of gratitude I have for the love in my life has no measure.Sometimes when I am alone, I sit and think about all the love that surrounds me today, it is a miracle.Five years ago, I was so lonely and sad and did not think life was going to be anything more than fake friends and failure.Why would things get any better??
And in the most unusual place, at the most desperate hour- a light started to appear.It was faint, but very much aglow.As time went on, that light got brighter and brighter, and it started to warm my cold and broken heart.It was love- the light of my life.I started to have hopes and dreams again, I started to want more for myself, started to know it was possible to be more for my child.That love made me love myself again, and I loved myself unconditionally for the first time in my life.I knew that a gift like this could not be mine forever without the cleansing of my soul.To perform such a task would take great patience,open mindedness, and bravery.The beast within me had to be put to rest, and it was long overdue.
To think that love for another can make you want more for yourself, to be more for that love.Does that make sense?? If you love someone as I do now, it will!
Today, I know of love, and redemption, and peace.I am surrounded by the glow of everlasting light, and even when the winds of the night blow in ever so abruptly- my light outshines.How beautiful it is to be.Just to, BE.
