Quinn Brett Instagram – Sometimes when I am just living…. gratitude and grief hit at the same time.
Tonight, I looked down while hanging on the couch. I wandered into thought—- These legs, the places they have taken me.
Miles and miles.
Fast and slow.
Topographical exposure.
The weight they have carried and pushed.
The strength and resiliency of their effort.
Muscles.
My heart is a muscular organ. It also has played an integral part in the leg adventures. So has my mind. #ecologicalsystem
Some days it seems like a silly consolidation prize to have gratitude. I long every single day for the freedom. Freedoms. To be pain free, nerve pain and heart-longing for the past pain.
Yet. Gratitude emerges. Look at these skinny ass legs. They have stood on top of mountains that only a few have. They have journeyed more miles in a week than the average human cares to in a lifetime.
My heart is strong and mind also, physiologically #thanksadventuretime
Some days they are not so much psychologically. That’s okay.
I am grateful for the places I have been, always. I am grateful now in smaller doses that I can even have gratitude, love, breath. #journey #thisishowitisnow #today #grief #gratitide
