Hear I am, born with a perfect body, with no deformities or health problems- so how could I ever complain about anything that is "going wrong" in my life.
Seriously, Am I so spoiled that I dare EVER complain?
This morning, the first thing that happened was I got a text message from a cousin letting me know that a cousin my age had died.
Carol Joy has always been a really big hero to me. For most of her life Carol Joy has been a wheel chair. Despite Carol Joy's hardships in life, she always tried her hardest to come to family reunion's and cousin retreats with a great attitude. She was always so positive and brave.
One of the best things I learned this last year has been to "Be here now". This is something I have to teach and re-teach myself every single day.
I sometimes take advantage of live.
I forget that each day is a gift.
I need to be more grateful.
It's a brand new day. The sun is shining- its a brand new day!
Absolutely beautiful and true, Lexi. I am sorry to hear about the passing of your cousin, but it's often moments like these that completely shape and remind us of who we are really meant to be.
