"Thank you...
Thank you."

I woke up this morning, cradled onto my bed, and was uttering this phrase.

Sometimes I can get so caught up in what isn't working that I forget that there are SO many things that ARE working yknow?
It is so easy to start complaining about what's going wrong...and why is that?
Well our brains are wired to protect us and in doing so, it leans toward the negative. And so we see it, literally.

But knowing this information doesn't make it any easier to not get caught up.
Sometimes we feel good, sometimes we feel bed.
Sometimes we laugh, other times we cry.
Some days are lovely, while others are far from it.
It's the balance between ying and yang
and we are all players
in this game of life.

So with a deep inhale and exhale,
I give thanks
for life itself...
and for the opportunity
to actually
feel the appreciation expand
with each breath,
within me.
