Appreciation

Two years ago today, Travis' sister Ricki passed away. Im told she was a beautiful soul. From everyone I've talked to that knew her - she taught them all something different about life, love and happiness. I wish I could have known her the way they all did. There is more about Ricki, and Travis' family on Trav's Mom's website http://darkwillowraven.tripod.com/ also check out her blog www.darkwillowraven.blogspot.com. She has beautiful pictures and poetry and a lot of interesting information about the Lakota tribe.
On days like today - I tend to reflect upon my life and try to remember all that I've experienced, what I've loved and what I've loathed. Im thankful for all that I have, all that I have given, all the good and all the bad. Im appreciative that I have a future. No matter how many bills I have, how much cleaning I have to do at home or how many times my work drives me up a wall - I am living life - here and now- Im free to make my own choices and do what I want to do. If I wanted to drop everything and drive off untill I reach an ocean and then jump in and float away - I could. Not that Im saying I would (although its more tempting than sitting here at work right now) - the point is that I could, I can and I just might someday. Just beacause. And I would enjoy every moment becuase that's where im supposed to be at that point and time. In reflection, I guess thats what I get to learn from Ricki, and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you.
