I’ve lost that loving feeling

I’ve lost that loving feeling…
It is buried under a massive pile of debris

Many people express how thankful they are during Thanksgiving. Since I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, being grateful is something I include in my daily prayers.

I begin each day by being thankful for all these blessings
For having a healthy mind, spirit and soul
For having finally found the profession I was meant to accomplish
For having a loving and supporting family
For making it home safe and sound every day amidst so much brutality
For being surrounded by people who love me
For having role models to look up to
For being endowed with a powerful and dominant mind.
For having warm, healthy and exquisite meals at my table
For having friends who respect and look up to me
For having legs and feet to walk despite my never ending injury
For having hands and fingers that are guided by my mind to hang on to the writerly world
For the uncounted blessings I encounter on a daily basis
For not being addicted to anything that is detrimental to my health (other than eating excessively many times)
For having accomplished so much
For allowing God to always be by my side
For having two healthy eyes that can witness all the gifts of nature

Despite prior physical, emotional, financial, personal and other setbacks, I have prevailed. I am ready to tackle and conclude the projects I set last year with the according deadlines…
Today I am taking the first step to demolish that massive pile of debris to rescue the loving feeling for writing. 
Now is the time to just do it!
