Something New

I'm going to try something new. I'm not always the most consistent person I know at sticking to a daily task list, but I'm going to give it a shot. I don't know for how long, well see; but I'm going to try to jot down 5 things I'm grateful for every day. Maybe here, maybe in my journal. I'm going to strive for daily for a while.

Today, I'm grateful for:
1. Victor Frankyl
2. God
3. Music
4. Suffering
5. Quotes

Vicktor Frankyl said that when man can find meaning in suffering, he can find a renewed sense of purpose for living; a renewed sense of hope. Sometimes I may dwell too intensely on my suffering, unsure of how to let it go. Victor Frankyl reminds me that the key to letting it go is to find the meaning. Superchic[k] says in their song, Beauty From Pain, that this is when we see God spring beauty from the ashes.
Khalil Gibran said, "Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls. The most massive characters are seared with scars."
So, today I am grateful, that although I may be covered in scars, they are softened by the salve of meaning, and each one has its own story of beauty to be shared.
