Had really bad news today! Brought to me by my brother over the phone.
After we'd cried, talked and been silent for a while, he said; "At least it's given us a chance to figure out and focus on what's really important. And we've decided not to wait until tomorrow. We'll start focusing already today!"
...It's really hard to feel gratitude on a day like this
... and then at the same time it's not.
Feeling gratitude doesn't have to be full of joy and lightness.
During the last months I've learned that it can come in all shapes and colors, and just now I realize that gratitude can also be accompanied by sorrow.
Today I feel very strongly that relationships, and sharing love, is what makes me truly grateful, and it seems to be what's life's all about.
