for those of you who are joining us now
this blog is an effort to practice understand explore
Gratitude

My hopes are/were to jump out of bed
glowing gleeing flying freeing
a commitment
to appreciate
what i have

where am I with it?

well, when i feel grateful
i feel good
and when i feel like shit
i don't feel grateful

has there been a shift?

i don't think so.

I still have much work to do.

I know:
I love the most simple things
the sun
my doggy
touch
water
birds
kindness

and it seems like it would be wise to
reduce my life down to only these
things
if
i
could

and i have read that each and everything that ever happens
even all of the most terrible painful ugly things
are all gifts

it is our thinking
labelling
naming
black and whiteing
yes or noing

that causes it to occur
as BAD

but if we just love
appreciate
and accept
everything
exactly as it is
there is peace

i'm not there yet
but i get it
and want it

SO!!

Thank you

i have a headache
can i appreciate it
where is the gift in it?

I guess I can just be happy that I have a head to ache

I love you.
