So much to be thankful for

I woke up this morning thinking about all the wonderful things I have to be thankful for.

It has been a growth year for me and I have been pushed to places I did not know I could come back from. But I came back and better than ever. I think health issues are one of the scariest issues you can have in life. We take our bodies for granted and when one day something goes horribly wrong, well it is overwhelming and can knock you off your safe pedestal you have built.

One year ago I was afraid I would never walk again. I was looking at a very different life than I had built for myself and I was under crushing medical bills with no future in the workforce. I had spent six months alone in my room and felt very isolated from friends and family. It was scary.

Now flash forward one year. I have the opportunity to move to one of the most beautiful places in the world ( The Berkshires) I will be surrounded by experts in my favorite subjects, the arts, spirituality, foodies, devout yoga followers and handmade craft specialists. I am about to work someplace that will support my health issues and will play a major part in my healing process. And for the first time in 10 years I will get to my own space to live in. I rented an apartment that is all mine. Of course I will have to share it with Ahmi, my trusty puppy of 8 years but she does not share much of an opinion on our living space so I am sure it will be fine. The cats will join us in the summer but for the first six months it will just be Ahmi and myself. Plus I will have good family and friends near by. I will be close to my cousins that helped change the course of my life ten years ago and I am so grateful to be moving close to them again.

I am grateful for all the blessings and healing's I received this year. I am thankful for all the family and support of good friends I had this last year. I am excited for the future and I am blessed for the present moment that I write this, good coffee, a warm house, a nice laptop computer and a wonderful oversize cashmere sweater.
