Virabhadrasana I - or Warrior Pose - is a posture in which we acknowledge our own spiritual warrior who every day does battle with our ego ... This was actually an unfinished painting.  Someone had done all the drawing, and all the grid marks were there, it just never made it to a painting stage. 

I used it specifically for this message because I feel that even when we are unfinished, even when we are a work in progress, in between, in the meantime, in the middle of the process ... whether we get delayed, sidetracked, or we stumble and lose our footing, while we are trying to get from here to there, we can still be thankful. We can still know that we are still blessed. Valued. Inspired. And loved.

You can't see the sketch here, only remnants of it ... because when we focus on these things, we no longer see the ego and its struggle to be anyplace else but where we are.
And wherever you are right now, in this moment, on this day, YOU ARE thankful and appreciated.  Blessed.  Valued.  Inspired and also an inspiration.  And above all, you are very very LOVED.
