1. My computer running well
2. My car running well
3. My adorable dog
4. This beautiful morning and day
5. Lots of project to work on
6. Tea and coffee
7. My spiritual awakening
8. Working at a job of my passion
9. Abundance
10. Unconditional love
Yes, I put tea and coffee on the list today. I'm trying to drink more and more clear water. I gave up coffee a few years ago and only have it once in a while. And lately I've been drinking coffee every morning because it is offered free at work. This morning I am tired. My sleep was very broken last night and I have the urge to crawl back into bed and sleep this day away. I need to go into work and I'm looking forward to some coffee. So, yes, tea and coffee is on my list today. And that's okay, life is ever changing and my needs change and I change.
Love and light.

5-25-11 grateful for today
1. Happy Hour!
2. My adorable dog
3. Noble, vulnerable, aware friends
4. Listening to myself, my inner true self
5. My amazing wonderful job of doing what I love
6. A fresh start, a new day
7. Love, unconditional love everywhere
8. Music
9. Creativity, creating space for the future to move into
10. Spiritual meaning.
I'm feeling amazingly a part of this world today. I am a part of a greater piece of moving, changing, transforming art that is this day and all of us moving through it. I am an active participant in creating this day. Before, I would sit on the outside and watch, observe what was going on and find the blank, dull, dead spaces to jump into, to get through the day and not really be part of it, but look like it. Now I'm in the mix, walking fully into the energy and my walking into the energy transforms it and changes it. This is a grand new perspective for me.
Love and light.

5-24-11 grateful for today
1. My Quaker meeting
2. Being open to give of my true self
3. Being open to receive and feel spiritual meaning in every moment
4. Having the office to myself this morning
5. Quiet
6. Unconditional Love
7. My adorable dog
8. My car running well
9. Creative freedom
10. This entire day.
I know my Quaker meeting isn't today, this is a Tuesday. We meet on Sundays (or first days). I am feeling grateful for that meeting today and the people in it. I am happy that I have been able to go and sit with them knowing that we all know who sit in the circle that there is that of god in all of us. I have been having feelings of terror come up in me when I have shone my inner light. I remember processing the concept and skipping over feeling my terror and went straight to logically understanding that it is safe for me to be open, and that logical bypass took the spiritual "meaning" out of my experiences and left them hollow. So, I embrace my terror of being open to share of myself and receive, and walk through that terror to know the "meaning" and feel safe.
Love and light.

5-23-11 grateful for today
1. My adorable dog
2. My wonderful career of my passion
3. Trust in my creativity and talent
4. A session with my therapist
5. Unconditional love
6. Courage to be open to my experiences
7. All my emotions
8. Breathing in life
9. Choices
10. My car running well.
I'm so glad that I'm doing better in getting this list posted. My goal is to post this daily with gratitude. Makes sense, a grateful list posted with gratitude. Sometimes in the past I would post it . . . well, maybe not post it with resentment, but start making it with resentment ("I gotta make this list again today?!). I'm now looking forward to writing up this list and post. And I feel bad when I forget to do it (like yesterday). Or when I'm too tired or exhausted to do it (like Saturday). When Saturday I had a lot to be grateful for and it would have been little effort to post it. There is still part of me that when I enjoy my day, I have a need to punish myself a little bit for it. I'm working on releasing that.
Love and light.

5-20-11 grateful for today
1. My car running well
2. Being aware of my defenses that dull my inner light
3. My wonderful job
4. Showing my short film last night
5. Open to receive
6. Communication
7. Meaning in life
8. All my emotions
9. Freeing myself from my encasements
10. Unconditional love
I realized yesterday how I use logic and rationalization to disconnect myself from the present moment. Looking at an experience logically, dulls the rainbow of colors and feelings and takes the deeper meaning out of the experience. I now search for the feeling and deeper meaning in every experience.
Love and Light.

1. Breath of Life
2. Nature, the world, the universe
3. My car running well
4. My adorable dog
5. My wonderful career following my passion
6. Endless opportunities
7. Choices
9. Emotions
10. Kleenex
I had an insight this morning of being "grateful to god", or to be aware of Grace. In the past, I always had the vision of giving thanks to god as in thanking some puppet master, visualizing a mean tyrant pulling the strings, making the rules, and all of us powerless and punished to think for ourselves, or make our own choices. That's what I used to believe, because that is all I knew in the world. This morning while I was driving along, I saw the trees growing, the sky blue, felt the earth turning and I realized that for me, for now, being grateful to god is this feeling of grateful to have nature, this earth, this world, as a construct for me to live in. As a place and life for me to make my choices, to choose to follow my path or turn off in exploration. I am grateful to this, the world, the universe, my life and experiences. I understand now when one is applauded for their accomplishment, why they give that applause back to god, because without all this, without everybody, without everything there is as it is, they wouldn't have been able to accomplish anything.
Love and light.
