Just Remember This

A Normal Life Is Priceless

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 9 months ago 1 min read
We see this every day on the news

“Your normal day

is someone else’s dream,

so be thankful

every day”

When I read a quote like this,

I always think of those

who are living in a war-zone

or

where there has been a natural disaster.

I’m sure their lives were going along

as ‘normal’

when,

within minutes,

their lives were literally turned upside down

and

nothing was the same as before.

Our quiet, normal and possibly boring days

would be like a ‘Dream’ for them.

This makes us Grateful

for what we can do

and

for who we have in our Lives.

This Reminds us

to never take

‘everyday Life’

for granted.

This puts the emphasis on us

to have that Daily Routine of Gratitude Meditation,

if only for five or ten minutes

every single day.

We must never take

our everyday Life

for granted

but do our best to Appreciate

what and who

we have in our Lives.

‘A Moment’ to be Thankful

for the Opportunities and Freedoms

we have every day

will keep this Thought

foremost in our Minds.

A normal day for us

is another person’s Dream.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

    No we must not take every day life for granted. In the future I will only be posting on those stories that post on mine. A moment to be thankful indeed. Nicely Done!!!
