On the 24th, I woke with an enormous sense of gratitude. I've never experienced this before.
I was just very grateful to be awake and to have this beautiful morning in front of me.
I was grateful for my family, the food on my table, the clothes on my back, and the roof over my head. I was grateful for both the memorable and fleeting experiences and people I have met in the past. I was also grateful for all the bad and trivial things that had angered, saddened, and annoyed the hell out of me.
I don't know what it was that brought this amazing feeling that would last two days. Maybe it's the collective impact of the year's events. Or it could be my Kabbalah lessons. Whatever the reason, it was a humbling experience.
