Deep Appreciation

I forget that I have everything. I forget that I am healthy, that a throbbing knee or an annoying back is nothing. I forget that I have a home to retreat to. I forget that I have family who love me unconditionally. I forget that I am alive.
But I am getting better at remembering. Becoming acutely aware. I have seen too much suffering, too many serious struggles that are close to the heart.
Artificial optimism is not what I am after.
I am after a deep appreciation of life.
My life.
