mostly this fall, this fall of relationship disasters and life-changing decisions, i'm just so grateful for my wonderful friends and family, who nurture me through every train-wreck and poor judgment call like i'm a normal, sane person. i'm grateful for those people. everything else is secondary.
"How easily we can forget how precious life is! So long as we can remember, we've just been here, being alive. Unlike other things for which we have a good comparison—black to white, day to night, good to bad—we are so immersed in life that we can see it only in the context of itself. We don't see life as compared to anything, to not-being, for example, to never having been born. Life just is.
But life itself is a gift. It's a compliment just being born: to feel, breathe, think, play, dance, sing, work, make love, for this particular lifetime.
Today, let's give thanks for life. For life itself. For simply being born!"
