A Gentle Reminder

To myself, and to you: there's always light at the end of the tunnel

I am filled with an overwhelming amount of happiness and gratitude lately.

For so long, it felt like there was this dark cloud over me.

There was no light at the end of the tunnel, only darkness.

I couldn’t see or appreciate any of the good, and I thought I would never see the light again.

It’s a new season of becoming

After a long and dreadful winter, it feels like I am suddenly in spring.

My eyes are suddenly open, and I am so grateful.

I am grateful to be alive to see another day.

To have a family that loves me and is in good health

My life isn’t perfect, and nothing special has happened, but I guess I am just more aware of the good that exists even with the bad.

I hope I continue to keep this in mind when the dark clouds hover over me again.

I know I might forget, so I am keeping this as a gentle reminder to myself that even when things are hard, there’s still so much to be grateful for, and even when everything seems dark, there’s still a light at the end of the tunnel.
