    Growing with gratitude

    I’m grateful for my life even when I can’t quite feel my purpose. I somehow just know that is a gift. The colors of the sky and the beauty of nature each morning when I wake.
    I’m grateful for my Grandmother and her loving arms and guidance. For her health and her unconditional love. Her arms and her hugs. Her wisdom and her patience.
    I’m grateful for my grown children, each day my heart swells even more with pride.
    I’m grateful for the hugs, the hikes,and the laughter as well as the memories that we have all shared. I’m grateful for the man that stands by my side who stepped up when the others stepped away. He stayed. He stayed.
    I’m grateful for my pets, for the soft and gentle kisses and nudges of support when I am often too overwhelmed and emotional to see the bright side. They pull me back and ground me. It’s unconditional love at the finest.
    I’m grateful for my GOD next without him, I wouldn’t be here today. I’m grateful for second chances and the lessons that I have learned along the way.
    I’m grateful for the birds and the wild animals as they sing their beautiful songs.
    I’m grateful for the Drs that fix me when I can’t go on.
    I’m grateful for the strangers that become friends and the presence of angels in my time of need.
    I’m grateful for family. Distant and close by. I’m grateful for my beautiful cousin. She is my hero. She saved my heart and gave me peace when I was absolutely dying inside.
    I’m grateful for my kind heart, and for my strength. For being determined to survive.
    I’m grateful for the dreamers. The encouragers and those that gently push.
    I’m grateful for my counselor as she helps me take my control back and gives me the confidence to keep pushing on.
    I’m grateful for the unsealed family who write the tender and vulnerable stories from their hearts.
    I’m grateful for their transparent and beautiful hearts.
    🤍

    • Hi there, Shelle. Aiša here. Thank you so much for sharing and your kind words about the Unsealed community <3

      I myself would like to share how especially fond I am of the following:

      “For her health and her unconditional love. Her arms and her hugs.”

      How beautiful!
      I think of all the women I hold near and dear when I read these lines.

      Happy New Year, Shelle 🙂

    • Aww shelle!! Your unsealed family is grateful for you too. You have such a beautiful heart — just like your grandmother. Reading your piece reminded me of all the beauty in life that I have to be grateful for. This piece so well reflected your heart and your softness. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being part of The Unsealed. <3 Lauren
