Gratitude

August 26, 2010 by gracefulfitness 2 Comments

My dad has a beautiful print with this saying on his wall.

“When the world wearies and ceases to satisfy there is always the garden.”

It’s been there as long as I can remember.  I always thought it was quaint but it wasn’t until today that I really got it.  Life has been challenging for Tate and I recently.  We created this kind of crazy situation for ourselves, living out of a backpack for 7 months, not working, moving to a new town sight unseen, moving “back East” after 9 years away, attempting to buy a house and a chiropractic practice, the list goes on and on.  Stress levels have been high lately with anxiety to spare.

But today I decided to practice simplicity and gratitude.  And so off  to the garden I went.  And as I worked I remembered what a friend posted a while back as his Facebook status. “Too blessed to be stressed”.

Today I am grateful for

  • amazing family who welcomed us back after a year and a half abroad with open arms (and open guest rooms!)
  • a husband who is devoted and endlessly supportive
  • access to clean food and water
  • the ability to take this time to transition from crazy life abroad to crazy “real” life
  • my strong and healthy body that allows me to dance and run and move to my heart’s content
  • the opportunity to live in Peru and vagabond around the globe

What are you grateful for today?
