Recently, I was reminded of how incredibly lucky I am. Lucky to be alive, lucky to have my health, and lucky to have found love. I think sometimes we take it all for granted. We go through each day assuming there will be another. We treat our loved ones as if they'll always be around. The brutal reality is that there are no guarantees. I know you're all thinking you already knew that and so did I.
When I really thought about it I felt like an idiot. I felt like I've been taking everything for granted. I realized how empty and unfulfilling life will be if I don't appreciate some part of each day. I mean really, genuinely appreciate something. So my commitment to myself is to conciously appreciate some part of each day. No matter how hard or depressing my day is I will find something to be thankful for.
Today I am thankful to have Dominic in my life. He's more than I could have ever asked for and tonight when he gets home I will do my best to show him how much he means to me.
