Gratitude


Today, I was struck by extreme feelings of gratitude.  It is certainly true that I lead a life which is based largely on being of service to others.  My life is based on love and being of service just comes naturally.  It is also true that I have pretty extreme physical challenges which limit my activities.  As a result of my limited physical abilities, I require a great deal of support.  Combining these two approaches to life means that I give a lot and receive a lot, meaning I am very deeply connected to other people and the process of life in general.  There is a great deal of inter-dependence in my life, including my wife, Maria, and numerous friends.  It is a wonderful way to live.
