My darlings, I had posted this yesterday as part of my ‘gratitude project’ – a personal challenge, of sorts…to find and then share a little something which has helped to fill my heart on that day.

At first, I hesitated to post – as, I didn’t want the sorrow of my cousin’s sudden passing to impact the loving energy here.

But, then I realized – how sad it might be not to share his brilliant light.

And, so if you’ll indulge me, my darlings – this moment, right here. To say ‘thank you’ to this energy of selfless loving-kindness that surrounds me each day.

Perhaps, all of you might join me in this gratitude challenge.

Gratitude Project, Day 4 –

I am grateful for this scrap of paper that was carefully tucked into a box and written by my dear cousin who recently passed away.

“I’m sorry for the delay,” he wrote – it was a parcel containing the digitized 8mm home movies of our family growing up. Even though he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer over Christmas and given just weeks to live, still his intention was that of giving, to ensure my happiness over his own. I have to believe, he must have been experiencing terrible pain, with a million reasons to tuck away from this world.

But, to the end he stayed true to his loving, selfless heart – and for that, I am ever-grateful. #gratitudeproject

My darlings, if I might trouble you to ask – on this day, what is it that fills your heart with gratitude?
