the Journey

Be Obsessively Grateful

I read a quote once that said, “she cries at least once a day at how beautiful life is.” At the time, I remember thinking, ‘hm, that’s dumb.’ But now, that quote is so beautiful and couldn’t be more true. Tears aren’t always a product of sadness or unhappiness, but sometimes a result of emotional overload.

Driving to my doctor appointment today, I was flooded instantaneously with gratitude for all the little things: where I live, the ability to drive, the car I drive, my life, and my amazing husband and son. The memories reeled and the tears streamed, but not because of sadness. Regardless of the cancer that my body once possessed, how lucky am I to call this life mine. 💜
