Life Is Amazing
Today I have a beautiful guest post from my friend Renee Avard about how amazing our lives really are. I’ve read through this list several times and I know I’ll return to it again and again – each item is a great reminder of all the treasures available around us every day. After you’ve finished reading, go and visit Renee on her site at Catch a Falling Star - she’s pretty amazing too!
Life is amazing:
- Spending time in bookstores
- The sky – day or night
- That “thirst is finally quenched” feeling
- Days where everything you needed done, gets done
- Having the money to get the peach smoothie
- Holding and charging crystals
- Refreshing juices – peach and watermelon, namely
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
- Being asked to use your skills there, through that venue
- Seeing the starlight through your bedroom window
- Hearing thunder and rain on a night in and under blankets
- Recognizing that good things happen more than not
- Knowledge that the sun will be there every morning
- And the moon will be there every night
- Total trust in consistent behavior
- The overwhelming feeling when tears of joy happen
- The emotion when the weight finally drops off
- Freedom and enlightenment
- Emotional releases in the form of tears and anger
- Regaining trust and a handle on the situation
- Realizing what is said is said at the right time and place and it holds weight
- The little party I have when that poem, post or article is complete
- Sometimes music in the car and sometimes silence
- Holding others to the level of comfort needed based on the way the cat acts
- Smiling due to no known reason
- Feeling comfort when needed the most
- Running into old friends or meeting new people that have many common interests
- Those lyrics, that quote, those words – perfectly describing the current situation
- Confident words and thoughts after years of uncertainty
- Coming into awareness in a variety of ways in life
- Trusting that life knows
- Finishing that project – finally
- Receiving and hearing compliments that validate your feelings
- Knowing you do not have to be acknowledged, but feeling awesome when you are.
And, finally: Feeling gratitude every day, for every thing, in every way. Remember: All are worth catching – yes, even you!

Thank you so much for your kind words. The moon, the night sky, the stars — they have always given me such incredible peace and comfort. It’s nice that other people feel this way, too!
