grateful today I can appreciate my life as it is and not aware of this only after something has been taken away

loss has been a primary motivator in my life and I am realizing it doesn’t have to be that way

one can protect what is  valuable by not gambling with things not prepared to be lost

why would I be honored with abundance if I didn’t appreciate what has already been given

• wealthy but not rich
• healthy but not young
• knowledgable without being smart
• grateful and aware how grace has mended and tended to a damaged but redeemed soul

Rip woke up from a long nap and he is ready to continue with a new spirit and appreciation for the mystery and wonder of life

thanks Pop
