Day 26 – GRATITUDE One of the greatest and powerful keys to unlocking the door to healing is having a sense of gratitude in your everyday life. It might seem ridiculous to be grateful when your grieving but if you can start practicing a little gratitude everyday, you will start noticing a difference in the way you feel about your life. So what are you grateful for today? You can list as many or as little things as you want. Think about making this a new ritual for you to practice each morning.
I'm grateful to have the opportunity to call Corbyn mine. I'm grateful for my loving wonderful husband that puts up with my crazy ups and downs. I'm grateful for my Minnie-me and her smile that lights up a room. I'm grateful I had 411 days with Corby. I'm grateful for Ledgyr because, let's face it, he wouldn't be here right now if Corby hadn't passed away. We didn't plan on getting pregnant with another child until summer 2014 (we got pregnant with Ledgyr in December 2013 and Corby passed October 2013). So who knows if his little spirit would have come to our family if my arms weren't aching and empty. I'm grateful for the wonderful understanding job my husband has as well as how loving and understanding my work and coworkers are. I'm grateful for the beautiful home we are able to live in to continue to grow our family when we are ready. I'm grateful for all of the supportive understanding people in our lives. I'm grateful for technology so I was able to chronicle Corbyn's entire life through pictures, videos, and email diaries. I'm grateful for my testimony of eternal families. I know that doesn't do a lick of help while I'm alive, but that faith that I will see my son and be with him again someday is sometimes the only thing that makes me put one foot in front of the other. I have to remind myself of all the things I'm grateful for on a daily basis or I would continue to dig myself into a dark hole. I would like to believe that as I focus on the positive still left in my life that I can slowly glue myself together.
