Gratitude 06.09 and 06.10.2012

Last two days:

June 10th


Robert Taylor's friendship - He joined me for lunch and prayed to my "purple fairy" when we blessed the meal. He's just awesome. 

Sense of humor - Laughing is a lot of fun. 

Opportunities to travel - I thought about this today as I wore my earrings from South Africa and purse from Costa Rica. O like collecting gems from all over. 

Summer heat - it is scorhing out there, but I like it. Makes me feel a live. This weather is also a good reason for frozen treats (I had two Slurpees today)! 

Sunday  mornings - the best way to end and begin a week. I always feel restored on Sundays. I certainly needed that today.



June 9th

My health - I'm grateful to be alive. I'm not perfect, but I'm still here. 

Peace and quiet - I've had a lot of it lately. A bit unnerving at first, but now I'm getting used to hanging out by myself. It's not so bad. 

Fellowship -  Genuine, compassionate, nonjudgmental connection is key. It's all will accept and offer from now on.

Tobey - For teaching me what fellowship means.

DC - One of the greatest cities ever. One life-changing experience after the other.

Gratitude 06.08.2012

  1. The chance to right my wrongs - Second chances aren't always granted. Learning to use them wisely when I get them.
  2. The gift & magic of David Bowie - How could I not be forever grateful for the music of the Thin White Duke aka Ziggy Stardust?
  3. All the free/cheap attractions in DC - One can be entertained at little to no cost in the District.
  4. Today's lessons - So many. The most important being love myself more.
  5. Having a creative and curious spirit - I'd be awfully boring and bored otherwise.

Gratitude 06.07.2012

A friend suggested I keep a gratitude list (à la Oprah). Here goes.

My first list:
    Mama who loves me - I'll always and forever be grateful for her.

    Time with friends this summer - I'm blessed to know so many good people.

    Seeing another day - Self explanatory, no?

    The strength to press forward -Without it I'd be stuck in some not-so-positive spots.

    The reality of a power greater than myself - "reality" should probably read "realization". Took me a long while to get to this point. Still exploring because I believe there's something for me to find.
