September 28th

I'm having one of those moments.... where guilt about how long it has been since I last blogged nearly kept me from signing on tonight.  I feel like I have nothing to say, but again recognize that having nothing to say, but staying engaged in the process, is more important than having something profound to say everytime I show up here.

So... in the spirit of living love.... I supported my sister today to be brave.  I snuggled both of my children and made them laugh.  I showed genuine support to a client living on the edge.  I am working on developing more meaningful relationships.  I am working to get out of my own head and to offer better service to others. 

I am grateful for my newly painted family room which feels so comfortable and peaceful to me.  I am grateful for my husband who has spent countless hours completing this project.  I am grateful for a warm, safe bed to sleep in tonight.  I am grateful that my children are excited to go to school tomorrow.  I am grateful for a job which pays me well enough to live comfortably.  I am grateful that I can make a difference in people's lives.  I am grateful that it is fall, and so cool, and colourful.   I am grateful that I have friends who are worth missing when I can't spend the time that I want to spend with them.  I am grateful for my mom who called to encourage me tonight.

I am grateful that I embraced love tonight instead of hiding because I felt so much less than perfect. 

Aloha,
Emily
