Sunrise, what a gift!

I wanted to go for a run this morning. When I opened the balcony to feel the temperature outside, I was greeted by this insane view of sunrise. This view is as seen from all the bedrooms in our house. I stood there and watched the display of the sunrise above the clouds and I felt gratitude, what a gift.
A gratitude that was not easy to ignore. I thought of the times when it is difficult to appreciate myself without disowning any part of my body or who I am. You know those times when saying affirmations like ‘you are beautiful and loved’ felt fake, so untrue.
Taking time watching the sunset made me feel loved and needed. Not loved and needed by someone but loved and needed by ME. This time I believed that I am beautiful and wonderfully made. I owned all of my self and loved all that I am. There is something about being in a state of gratitude. You start to accept and love what is, whether you like it or not, and whether you understand it or not.
Today when the earth turned to its axis and the light gave life to all that exist, It felt like the sun is rising within me, what a gift. Like the darkness is slowly fading in me. I love watching sunset and sunrise that’s where I feel my affirmations are true and honest.
When everyone (husband/boyfriend/kids/friends/family) is not by your side to affirm your beauty and shower you with love, where do you find true affirmation? Where do you find love?
Today’s affirmation: I am grateful for who I am and accept my self as I am. My life is blessed and I am loved by God above.
Take care,
