I can’t count the ways I’m fortunate! So I’ll start with the fact that I’m born in into this precious human life ! Each breath I take I’m grateful. It’s good to be reminded of this and all of the positive things that can be so easily overlooked ! 1 Reply Ben7 years agoBenSo good reading all the ways people are recounting how they're fortunate. I often forget, but yes - just to be alive, to be able to see this screen, to connect with any of you at all, to eat, to live in a place with ample trees, to be able to walk around, to have kind friends, to hear! All these things I often take for granted and so many more.

I didn’t realize it before and this is one of the major benefits of having a spiritual life (and of course, of Br. David!)
