Appreciating My Peace

      On this journey of life, sometimes we become complacent. We forget just how blessed we are. So then we are met with trials and tribulations. As we are going through these trials, we ask ourselves, "Why me?" and when it's over some of us still complain and others of us sit around and discuss how bad our lives are. Blah blah blah.  Lately, life has been really rough. I have cried and asked myself and God "Why me?" But through it all I've learned a lot of valuable lessons. So many. Because I am still learning, I know I don't fully appreciate the full beauty in the lesson (as my friend from my previous blog helped me to see) but I do see the value more and more each day. When I do recieve my slithers of sunshine from time to time, I am SO grateful. I appreciate my peace so much more after the storm. While this may seem like an obvious concept, the feeling I have is not so obvious. Peace in my life is something, I have always taken for granted. So, I guess what I am trying to say is, count your blessings, and never take them for granted, because they could be gone tomorrow. That's my lesson lived today.
