Gratefulness
I think I offered forgiveness to my parents for all the wrongs I felt I suffered at their hands in childhood after acknowledging the pain that it caused me and allowing myself to feel it. I can’t remember what they were anymore, and now the benefits are innumerable. I have a close loving relationship with them. I learned forgiveness can open your heart, and much of what I was holding on to was hurting me and holding me back from real closeness with others, not helping me in any way.
I can make dinner for my husband and stepchildren. I struggle with chronic migraines and feel often like I don’t do enough, but being able to do this small thing makes a big difference in their lives. I read this in the morning and focused my energy on completing this task.
My little tripod, Leo, is the most content creature I know. He loves to be fed, pet, and in the company of his humans and dog and cat brothers. He is joyful at strange unexpected moments. He loves to find vegetable scraps and delights in radishes, tomatoes, and even onions. Food that other dogs turn their noses up at. I often find him basking in the sun in a small spot on our tiny deck, or curiously sniffing our mean cat as he walks by as if he has never caught his scent before. .
