I am grateful for my home. I have been rather annoyed with my home for a few weeks, months, years. I have had the belief that my home has a feeling to it, a sensation when I walk through the door, that strips away all my good intentions and just radiates bad feelings. I've been wanting to move away for years, and have not done it. Mainly for financial reasons, I tell myself. The feeling of my home is only a reflection of the feeling I put onto it. I love my home and I am grateful for it.

Along the same lines, I haven't been taking care of myself, lately. As you can probably tell by the gap in these posts. Doing this list every day is helpful for me in taking care of myself. It is easier for me to do the things I need to do to take care of myself when I start out being grateful. I take care of myself from a place of love, not because I have to.

I'm grateful for starting over. I'm starting over in a lot of things today. I'm restarting my 40 day meditation cycle. I'm restarting this blog. I'm starting over in taking care of myself, my things, my house. I'm starting over being grateful for my second job. I'm starting over using my 15 minute timer (I haven't been using it except for meditation for a couple of weeks). I'm starting over my commitment to myself for my personal growth.

That's my 15 minutes
