Gratitude

A lot is written about Gratitude. How it assists our happiness. How the Attitude of Gratitude can be a way of life. Gratitude for me is how I live with sorrow. I don’t see my sorrow going away. It might. Sometimes it does. Some of it doesn’t. When sorrow shows up, and it will given practically any opportunity I give it, then it is Gratitude that brings me back to happiness. I can mitigate the grief with Gratitude. I can choose to remember fondly the amazing rewards of what once was and, most importantly, still is: the lessons learned, the great experiences together, the great experience of being together, the connection, the love.

It’s always been my choice. I may not have know it then. I know it now.
