The emotion of being feeling blessed is predominant in my life that I have learned through many difficult trials and tribulations.
At my physical age of 63 years old while I look and feel much younger than my peers. With that, I am grateful for being active, healthy and mentally sharp. Yoga and stretching with movement that brings blood flow to the brain is critical to prevent memory loss.
The feeling of blessedness is more crucial when things are going sideways than when life is going well. The obvious thought is that things can always be worse which is realistically true. For example this week, I being a, “ditz,” didn’t understand why my card was being charged after I booked my trip months in advance realizing that it was only deposits to hold my reservations. After I started getting emotional about it, I realized that my financial decisions from previous days actually prevented the situation from becoming a nightmare. Thus, feeling blessed.
Truthfully, when we were born, there were no promises of an “easy” life so it’s up to us how we are going to face challenges emotionally and then intellectually. To me, learning to be thankful for when things go wrong allows me to look at things critically quicker to resolve the problem. Grateful.
Thank you,
Leslie Elizabeth David.
