I often practice thankfulness towards life. Every time something beautiful happens to me I try to show gratitude and acknowledge that I am happy.
What I don't do nearly often in enough is thank another aspect entirely.
Thank you death.
Thank you for not taking me today. Thank you for allowing me more time here to fulfill my potential. Thank you for being the great equalizer of all life. Thank you for sparing my loved ones, even if it's just one more day. Thank you for letting me live long enough to know love. Thank you death, for ushering in the necessary evolution of all species in a trial of survival. Thank you for the decay that breeds new life.
Thank you death.
