I have been searching for reasons for gratitude in my life for a long time. Thinking I had found a religion and savior that met my needs helped for a few years. My life was challenging and my self esteem and mental health were all in the negative realms. I could focus on the afterlife instead of living life. That felt safe for a while. Then it began to feel fake.
I wanted to be grateful for my family, children, home, salvation, job, food, etc... But honestly I was just going through the motions. This year is different. My future is brighter. It wasn't dark with Ted and the kids but I was just a bit dim. Everything around me was grey. George brought in light. He didn't need to try hard. We needed each other. Together we burn brighter.
To "celebrate" today we just all went to the playground and enjoyed a day off work.
