Halfway between two chemo sessions, I woke up this morning feeling rested for the first time since chemo day 1. Anyone with a sleep issue will appreciate the blissful embrace of sleep – when it finally happens. Sleep nourishes the soul, mind and body. So I’m grateful for this night. With that, we can start our day with our “usual” daily routine: meditation and gratitude.
I am grateful for ….
You who chose to be present in my life,
by the universe’s miracle, we met
Our souls connected,
Deeper than most
So we stuck around
because we saw something that is
Rare and pure.
What I saw in you,
Your genuine heart,
Your sincerity about life,
And the levity that accompanies it.
Your quiet intellect,
Like your quiet charisma.
Your generosity drew me closer to you,
Because it is what I admire so,
You are a wise sage
Yes with flaws like everyone else
Because you are human.
It is your humanity, that is precisely why I fell for you.
Dear friend,
I am grateful for your presence in my life
Our past,
Our present,
And yes, why not our future?
On a very bright sunny day
I feel overwhelmed by your love and care
Your encouraging smiles,
Tears of empathy wanting to share my pain,
Careful questions,
Prayers,
I am blessed
By your presence.
Your devoted friend,
Linda
