Gratefulness

if there's anything i can tell you it's to be grateful . be grateful for the shirt on your back , be grateful for the food you put in your mouth. be grateful for the shelter you have .. be grateful for your family and friends who are family .. be grateful your here.

In the time that we live in everyone is out there thinking , they need more, we taught to be believe so much stuff.. 

But at the end of the day .. stuff is just stuff .. 

You can't take it with you when you go .. 

Your legacy is what you leave behind .. 

hopefully you leave some kindness .. 

Hopefully you teach your children to survive in this world .. 

Hopefully after you die this world is a better place ... in some tiny way .. 

I hope long after i'm gone.. 

My daughter remembers all the fun times we had , remembers the lil arguments .. 

rembers everything i tried to do make her a happy childhood .. 

We don't all have that .. 

Some of us live in pain , and anger .. and carry vengence in our hearts .. 

i know i did .. 

but the funny thing about life is it keeps going ... 

it goes up and down .. it goes two steps backwards to go two steps forward ... 

But treasure it in it all its stages .. 

We do not know .. how long we have .. 

But we mortul .. 

though our spirits may stay.. 

But my best friend told me .. 

Live for today !

And i try .. 

but sometimes i fall on my face .. and i don't want to get up .. 

but i'm not alone in that .. 

i don't know what compels me to write .. 

but when the urge compels me i do .. 

and i find my peace here in my words .. and in reflections .. 

i find my clarity ... 

So i leave you with this .. 

I challenge you to be grateful ... 

for even one tiny thing today .. especially since its monday .. 

Live , Love ..Laugh 

Love Xavi
