Gratitude by Courtney Frey (Birthmother) Yesterday three things happened that humbled my existence.My two year old jammed out on her play guitar while watching herself in the reflection of the oven in my kitchen.I was filled with a sensation of pride, as I watched her love herself so much. My father wrote something that I got to read.I was enthralled in the intimacy of his telling heart.My friend brought a movie over last night and curled up on my couch to the sounds of a thunderstorm. I was comforted in friendship.

A child who taught me to entertain myself with the beauty of me, a parent who blessed me with the willingness to share himself, and a friend who accepts me just as I am.Am I deserving of all this?Probably not.But I am grateful.

I had the honor of writing my best friends wedding invitations and vows, and my art design is tattooed on another friends ankle forever.I get to work doing what I love everyday and I have a man who comes home at night to hold me.I have children who shine despite my flaws in polishing them, and I have two parents who share themselves with me in ways that change my life.

And all in one single day. I will never take for granted the moments that pass quickly for they often hold more power than the illusion of time itself.And I will spend more energy on keeping my eyes wide open in gratitude.

Be grateful today … blessings are all around us.
