The Day After Thanksgiving

LIFE'S GIFT 

Stop, just for a moment, and consider this: 
You've been given another day on this earth. 
This day is to be honoured. 
 Let your heart break into a million pieces today, if it wants to. 
Allow yourself to cry today, if tears come. 
Feel vulnerable today, if vulnerability visits. 
Allow all of life to move through you. 
 A taste. A glance. A breath. 
The touch of a loved one's hand. 
The vibrantly alive and familiar upsurge of joy or pain. 
This is a day of gratitude for the smallest and most 'insignificant' of happenings, 
even for those which seem unworthy of your gratitude. 
 This is not just 'another' day. 
This is your first day, and your last day. 
Your only day. 
Your longed-for day of grace. 

 Jeff Foster
