Appréciation
Aujourd’hui, je suis très reconnaissant et appréciatif de tout ce que j’ai dans ma vie. J’apprécie:
- mon corps parfait dans son imperfection
- ma santé
- l’amour, l’amitié et l’accompagnement que je reçois de ma belle femme
- notre vie en couple
- notre belle petite famille avec Roxie
- toute ma famille et mes amis
- mon emploi
- ma belle ville
- le fait que je suis capable d’aller marcher pendant deux heures un vendredi matin le long d’une rivière, sans me déplacer
- ma dualité linguistique
- que nous pouvons nous permettre de retourner à Disney World dans 50 jours pour célébrer nos fêtes
- que je puisse me traiter à un PS4
- la musique qui m’entoure
- le silence qui m’aide à apprécier le bruit
- le bruit qui m’aide à apprécier le silence
- ma belle, belle maison de lumière
- tous les animaux qui viennent visiter notre cours
- l’amour et la joie que je vois dans les autres autour de moi
En court, j’apprécie ma vie, comme elle l’est. Parfois je dois me rappeler ce fait, mais de plus en plus, je le reconnais à tous les jours.
One step at a time…
