Daily Gratitudes

I recently started trying to think of something to be grateful for everyday. This led me to purchasing a gratitude journal. Today is my first entry in that journal. Today is also 4 years from the date my mom had her aneurysm rupture. I am working on taking the negative feelings I have associated with April and changing my mentality so this month isn't as hard on me. So today's gratitude has to do with her.

WHAT I AM GRATEFUL FOR TODAY
...that I had a good enough relationship with my Mom to where we spoke often. I am grateful that we spoke on this day 4 years ago, just hours before her aneurysm happened. I am grateful her last words to me were kind and motherly.

It Calls Me

And the call isn't out there at all
It's inside me
It's like the tide
Always falling yet rising

I will carry you here in my heart
You remind me
That come what may
I know the way

The section of lyrics from Moana - Song of the Ancestors always makes me think of Mom 💜
