Pink Warrior

Second day of radiation treatment out and I was out enjoying a gorgeous, sunny day in the city--staying in the shade as much as possible and protecting my skin.  Feeling fabulous and grateful to be alive.  I've noticed that the expression of gratitude has opened many spiritual avenues to me over the course of my diagnosis and treatment.  How is that?  When you express gratitude for whatever you have, a lot or a little, you invite blessings into your life.  When your kids say thank you and mean it, don't you want to give them even more?  It's the same with God.  I'm grateful for a safe,warm place to sleep, clean water to drink and shower in, food in my stomach, clean clothes on my back and good health care.  To millions of people in third world countries, I'm rich.  I never forget it.
