I was coming home from doing groceries and as I was coming up the street, I saw a neighbour walking his dog. I honked and waved, he waved back. I was thinking that just one year ago, that would have been unheard of.
A year ago I was just starting to come out of a decade long illness and I was beat up and tired and lifeless.
When I moved in one year ago, he was the first neighbour that said hello and has consistently been neighbourly. I love his mastiff dog and whenever I am outside and they are there, I stop to talk and pet this big teddy bear that looks like she could rip out your throat (appearances can be deceiving).
So as I waved and smiled at the acknowledgment of how far I have come in one year and in learning about appreciation and gratitude when I found LOA, I got quite emotional and teary eyed and had to acknowledge just how happy I was in that moment and how happy overall I have been over the last 6 weeks or so.
I never thought I would ever thank God for anything, and here I am appreciating everything that has come into my life thus far (even the bad stuff).
I love how I feel when I am grateful and appreciative. It is better than any high I ever got on pot! And I am not exaggerating. This high is real and long lasting and caused by me and Source.
Life really is a miracle!
