thought of the day.193

Being spiritual needn’t have anything to do with belief in invisible beings. The word spirit comes from the Latin "spiritus" which means "to breath," to be alive. We are spiritual to the extent we are full of life—full of joy and wonder, full of spirit.

I had never actually looked up the word (that seems like a strange oversight now, actually!) but I instinctively knew that spirituality meant something like that. I just wanted to share that I felt that way this weekend. I am so very grateful for my life. I have family I love, including my son (whom I adore), and I'm in love with a wonderful guy. I have a lot of freedom, and I feel so unburdened these days. I feel so fortunate that I was one of the minority of people raised in a religious home that was able to find spiritual freedom.

Hallelujah! :) So very glad to hear that...thanks for sharing. I feel that sense of lightness too, more each day I distance myself from my old ways of thinking.
