Happy to be alive today...
Thinking and reminiscing about LEAP DAY 2000 and remembering what a crazy day that was (aka "The Day That Doesn't Exist"), how thankful I am that we survived that crazy day, and how everything changed that day.
In a crazy twist, I was at the bookstore the other day, and I saw this notecard that has a picture of a guy watching his house burn. It says: "As he watched his house burning to the ground, he kept thinking, 'Now I am finally free.'"
I wasn't necessarily aware of it on Feb. 29th, 2000, but the experience of losing all things material was one of the most liberating external factors in my life, and how that experience really raised the bar for me on what "liberation" means. For this I am thankful. Mostly I am thankful to be alive.
Blessings to my girls who survived with me and are still doing well today.
