Finding grateful

I stared at the ocean twice this week {mesmerised by the rhythm of crashing waves}.

On both days the ocean seemed to hold so much strive and purpose {intent on getting things done}.

And I've been feeling a little the opposite {watching days unfold and struggling to find my own rhythm in their speed}.

Weeks like this floor me {leave me overwhelmed, wondering and eager for a new day}.

Mid-week {and again today} I realised where I was heading {a feeling of disconnection coming from my soul}.

And so {with help from a friend} I remembered to hold my heart close {and listen for words of ways to make a change}.

I trusted time and I trusted my body {and they trusted my heart}.

I meditated and I practised yoga {and gave thanks for two little girls who sleep at the same time}.

I recieved calls from three girlfriends I haven't spoken to in weeks {and gave thanks that our friendship is stronger than time}.

I looked into a dark early morning sky {and gave thanks for the day that was, and the lessons learnt}

I watched the sun rise and gently transform the sky from black to blue {and gave thanks for a new day and a shining sun}.

I chose to believe the words that keep coming at me {today will make you stronger for tomorrow}

And on the bumpiest of weeks, I gave thanks for the practise of gratitude {and the many blessings it allows me to see}.
