What Are You Grateful For Today?

I am sitting on a park bench in the shade waiting for the post office to open after lunch. I am exactly where I need to be, Bisbee Az. It is an old mining town that was taken over in the early 70s by hippies and artists. I purchased a small home here several years ago. When my wife told me we needed to live apart for a while, maybe forever I came here. I am so grateful I had a place to go where strangers actually stop and chat with strangers. I am grateful for the resources I have to deal with my healing. I have been working with a trainer for 17 years now so each day I have a cycling assignment. Today I rode my bike to the border and back. I feel my fitness improving every day. I have been having difficulty eating from stress so I have been losing weight. Today I noticed a lightness of being I have not felt for a long time. I think it is a combination of increased fitness and weight loss. It is enough to encourage me to go further. I am grateful for that. I am grateful for starting to feel like life might be worth living again. The emotional pain is still there but positive thoughts are seeping in. I am starting to feel like I have some value.
