Dating : In Deep Gratitude

As I listen to the soft islamic melody, that always grounds me and nurtures my healing soul, I am then reminded of the importance of Daily Deep Gratitude.

I don’t think I’ve ever been as close to our Creator as the last two years of my life. That chapter of my life was easily one of the most emotionally violent episodes of my life, for there was so many issues unsettled. At the time, I wrote, I spoke to Him and I asked for Him to hold my hand. Little did I know that He would do so much more for me.

He held my hand.
He protected me.
He brought Light into my heart.
He restored my faith in life after Divorce.
He helped me understand that my own perception was my own responsibility.
He gave me the certainty to trust myself again, to know that the purpose I was looking for is already right there, within me.

Yes, you must think to yourself now: Oh, how very convenient to feel this way when you are happy, and problems are out of sight. But that could not be further away from my Truth. It is in the darkest, most uncertain moments that my Faith in the Creator became rock solid.

My beliefs, my perceptions, my values, my core was tested for the last two years. Here I am, standing, and regardless of what the future holds, I finally understand: He is Within Me, and within all of Us.

As I continue to put one foot in front of the other, as the cool winter breeze revives my entire body, I am then reminded of the importance of Daily Gratitude.

Thank you, dear Universe. For the longest time, I’ve always felt a lucky star watching over me. But it was so much deeper and more powerful than that.

You took away the people that were hurting, that needed to heal, so they wouldn’t hurt me anymore. You gave me strength and courage to accept and rise. You gave me clarity and mindfulness to welcome the imperfections and treat them with respect. To learn from my mistakes, to grow from them, not to punish myself with them.

I am so Grateful for your constant guidance, in this year where uncertainty is the main law. May the light of your life always shine upon all of your children.
