Always Auditioning

… you are grateful? Have you ever gotten yourself so wrapped up in the moment where you found yourself completely overwhelmed by all the good your life that tears naturally started to fall? I only ask because this happened to me a couple days ago and it still rings strongly in my heart. In case you didn’t know, I suffered from a BAD foot injury. I have been SLOWLY healing from it, and I must add, that I’ve been pretty patient. Where does the gratitude come in? Well, I was in the shower and without even thinking, I went up to the balls of my feet (weight on both feet). When I put my heels down, I realized that I didn’t feel one bit of pain. To be having continuous pain for a pretty long amount of time - it starts to get hard to believe the pain will ever go away. I cried. I had this huge (probably really ugly) smile on my face. If you didn’t know why I was crying, you may have been concerned. The gratitude I felt and still feel from that realization was overwhelming. Frankly, I’m surprised I didn’t get on my knees and start shouting “Thank you, G-d” over and over. I suppose the tears said it all. I had never cried so hard because of my gratitude before. Have you?
