Today is a great day:

I have this wonderful earth.
I have life, breath, intelligence, compassion, wit and love.
I have my Faith.
I have opportunity.
I have great, functional, loving relationships with my adult sons.
I have come one day closer to having the same again with StepD and StepS.
I have made positive differences in the lives of two people yesterday.
I have a handful of good, nurturing, long-standing friendships.
I have two new recent friends.
I have dozens of anonymous, but truer-than-true new friends on these boards.
I have three wonderful grandchildren.
I have my scars and they are all badges of the pride of surviving, enduring, and thriving.
I have a great brother.
I have two wonderful nephews.
I had many years with a loving companion, friend, lover, partner, wife, playmate who was once one of the finest people I ever knew.
I. Have. Abundance.

I am alone but not lonely.
I am broke but not in Spirit.
I am independent.
I am interdependent.
I am free.
I am self-aware.
I am sheltered, warm, dry, fed, and clothed.
I am hopeful.
I am evolving.
I am healing.
I am healing myself.
I am improving.

I am ready!


Gardener

"My soul, be satisfied with flowers,
With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own."
