I listened to this song on repeat on the way to and from work today. It’s a sad song, but it makes me feel so at ease.

Our friends Steve and Theresa gave us this amazing, homemade oak tree cake topper as part of our wedding gift. Now it lives on top of our new bookcase from my godparents!

Quote

Even though there was much we couldn’t do together because of my IC, Charlie and I felt much gratitude for the opportunity we had (because of my IC) for such quality time together. We had time to get to know each other on a soul level, to understand how each other felt about things, and to discover how we came to be the people we are today. We learned together the power of gratitude quite accidentally simply because it came to us so naturally. We were so grateful to God that we had found each other and so grateful for the opportunity to be together. It didn’t matter that we didn’t have material abundance back then (or even that I had IC) because we knew that what we had was most important. We had unconditional love between us. Love without conditions placed on it is probably the most valuable, the most precious gift we can ever give or receive. We knew we were fortunate and we couldn’t help but feel and express our gratitude. Even though I was sick and there was a lot we couldn’t do together, we were still happy. I know this must sound weird to some people, but we couldn’t help it. Even in the midst of my physical suffering we were able to see how blessed we were. By concentrating on what we did have and believing that we already had everything, we automatically drew more and more of the same wonderful abundance to us. We were using the universal law of attraction without even realizing it. The universal law of attraction is (simply put) ‘like attracts like’. What we focus on, we draw to us. When we focus on good things, we draw more good things to us. When we focus on negative things, we draw more negative things to us. As you shift your focus to what you have, you give the universe ‘permission’ to send you more.

It doesn’t sound weird to me.
