1-28-16 grateful for today
1. My car running well
2. Having an income, shelter, and food
3. Music
4. Cold weather, cloudy rainy
5. Sleeping well last night
6. My arms and legs and brain working well
7. Loving caring friends
8. Trees, oaks, maples, birches . . .
9. Pens, paper, writing
10. My new puppy
Notice the theme of this list? Most of the list are the very basic necessities for me to survive. I had a hard time coming up with anything else to be grateful for. Also, if you have been reading my other posts, every single one of my previous posts started with number one being "My Adorable Dog". Well, that adorable dog died in April of 2015. I could say that that is why there was a big gap and I did not do this list for so long, that would be a lie. I got out of the habit of this list being daily a long time ago, before my dog passed. I wouldn't say I was in a full-blown depression, but I was headed that way. Now? I don't know, I probably am in a full-blown depression. This list is one tool to pull myself out. We'll see. Love and Light.

7. Washer Dryer in the apartment
8. Cold Weather

I was thinking the other day about halos, and auras. In old paintings and mosaics, the halo is depicted as a disc vertically behind the head, shining out, like light. When did the halo become a golden ring floating horizontally above the head? It never looked right to me, even as a kid in cartoons. I would ask what it was in the cartoon and my grandmother would tell me its a halo, and show me and old picture where it was the vertical disk. The two were not the same and I puzzled in silence. Now I believe that halo is really aura, that when one shines their Light given to them by Spirit, people can see that shining aura around them, maybe back then it's a different word for aura. The floating golden right above the head seems more materialistic than Spiritual. Love and Light.

1. My adorable dog
2. My car running well
3. Sleeping well
4. Choices and responsibility
5. Friends
6. Unconditional Love
7. Freedom
8. The Light
9. Breathing
10. Cool mornings.
I am ready for fall. There are some weird bugs that come out toward the end of summer here in Georgia. And after 20 years in South Florida, I am ready for fall to arrive. I did not want to go through summer again. And I realize that I had been allowing the weather to affect me. The familiar depression I was feeling in Florida has come up in me, not wanting to go outside in the sweltering heat, dreading the hot car (so I just won't go to the grocery store or the bank), not wanting to take the dog for long walks. My dog and I have not been on a hike since Memorial Day and I haven't even taken him for a long walk around the neighborhood. Not only is it hot and sticky, I also seem to walk through fine spider webs wherever I go. . . . . so, this does not sound like being grateful at all. This sounds like a whiney rant. And it is NOT the weather causing this. It is my own decision to not see the gorgeous blue sky, to enjoy the beautiful cool breeze this morning and last night, to enjoy the thunderstorms and rain. I am always my choice. Love and Light.

1. My adorable dog
2. My car running well

5. Choices and responsibilities
6. Unconditional Love
7. Sleeping and resting

There is a part of me that sabotages my own wants and needs. I used to fight against this part. Try to get take care of my wants and needs faster than that "other me" could sabotage them. I tried to ignore and deny that that "other me" existed. Neither of these tactics worked and the end result (regardless if everything was neat and tidy in my life or if my life was in shambles), the end result was me being depressed, hating myself and beating myself up. I have learned that this is not an "other me" it is not a part that is "outside of myself" no matter how much I try to put that part there. This is a part within me. A part that decided a long time ago that my own needs and wants were not important. A part that behaved in a way to make sure that my needs and wants were not fulfilled. A part that knew at the time in my life as a small child making that decision, it was the best way for me to survive. Now, as an adult, that decision no longer serves me and that part of me is now sabotaging my health and wellbeing. I now have much compassion and love for that part within myself. I, as an adult, am now able to care about and make important my want and needs for that part of me that is unable to do so. I am now able to love unconditionally for that part of me that is unable to love. I flow my love to and through that sabotaging part, showing that part of me, showing within me and teaching myself what unconditional love is. Teaching myself what making my needs and wants important feels like. Love and Light.
