On this sunny, chilly Winter day... I am grateful...
1.) that I went to Unity this morning, and visiting with all the folks I'd not seen in a while; the message was just what I needed to hear, "Cutting the Cords"
2.) to have all my senses... to see the beautiful sunshine and blue sky, beautiful neighborhood and all the goings-on ; to hear the birds chirping, the breeze through the trees, the cicadas; to touch (and rub) the friendly, playful, loving dog I encountered today; to taste fresh bread from the local Red Hen Bakery, and the delcious green beans I had at dinner last night; to smell the refreshing essential oil that lingered in the bathroom, after my bath; to feel love, appreciation, compassion in my heart
3.) for the outline of the trees against the sky at dusk, it invites contemplation and thanksgiving
4.) for the heart-shaped mandala I made a few months ago..that sits on my table and reminds me to speak my heart ..and to listen and heed as my heart speaks to me; and that is what we all must do... when we listen and heed to the Heart of our heart, only Good can come of it
5.) for realizing where and what I must to let go of... in order to grow and expand into the fullness of my being; the essence of "Cutting the Cords' - as was today's message at Unity
6.) the ever-present companion of Gratitude and how my relationship with it has opened my life and sense of appreciation...immensely

Day 36 /365
Ahh...The end of the 9-5 week... TGIF!! I am also thankful for:
1.) Inspiration that visits me out of the blue...and when I need it most; I'm thankful that despite the noise in my head.. rehearsing the growing to-do list I can still hear Inspiration and Creative Ideas, like....
2.) ... thinking of the stuff I need to do as "Self Development Projects" instead of burdens; I'm gonna do my best to sustain that attitude...and let it abide in me...then I know it will work
3.) the Christmas lights that some people leave up ... it's a nice surprise on my evening walks!
4.) the sound of birds in the Winter.. how do they manage to survive in the cold with their thin feathers? ...another blessing and miracle of Nature
5.) the creative inspiration I receive from so many people and avenues; and today's newsletter from the Arts & Healing Network

Day 35 /365
It's interesting how energized I can feel at the end of the day at work, sometimes. It's lighter outside.. I get to walk out and see daylight. Right now.....I am grateful for:
1.) Dr. Shepherd and his "good shepherding" of my health - having my best interest at heart, even when I'm in a hurry and don't want to stay for the duration; I also enjoy our good-natured bantering.. makes me laugh; ...and I'm thankful to my friend, Bill...for recommending him to me!
2.) the young man who appointed himself my plant caretaker at work...even though I hardly ever see him... I can tell he's been there; I appreciate the notes he leaves...and his thoughtfulness...the plants and flowers he ocassionally leaves for me brighten my office
3.) today's Oprah...on a wake-up call for our health; I almost didn't watch it...it felt like warning overload...but toward the end there was good news, encouraging news and how small changes can have a big effect on our health...one way or another .. I remember Michelle Obama saying the same thing..that it was the consistent, small changes that turned their family's eating and health around
4.) the quiet at work...after 5pm -- it can be very calming..and very focusing for me to accomplish personal stuff I didn't get done at lunch time; I am thankful for my very good job, my co-workers...and the work environment; I am blessed!
5.) feeling good in my body... smoother functioning of my body... and improvements in my health and well-being
6.) the countless opportunities available for healing and processing via spontaneous self-expression, creative expression with the body (drumming, dancing (Roth)...walking); being conscious that all of these are beneficial on many levels of being
7.) spending time with Kamaria... always

Day 33 /365
Ah...winding down from a relaxing evening of participating in the rhythmic, healing power of drumming... life is good... I am deeply thankful for:
1.) my friend Jun and that we always re-connect at just the right time..and rather synchronistically; through him..many wonderful expereinces (and conversations) come my way... Last April I was gifted with a weekend workshop, talk and musical experience with Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith, and his wife Rickie Byars Beckwith...a lifechanging experience! ...tonight Jun held a Drumming Experience... feeling the transformational vibration of the group, and the experience of playing and experiencing it within my being...feeling the vibrational change in the room.. realzing the power in the vibration to change...to heal. Thank you Jun.
2.) I am truly, deeply thankful that the creator puts in our path the who, what where, when, why and how...just when we need it; and that this happens when I listen to my self...to the voice that says "I wonder how so-and-so is".. or realizing I thought that thought a few times over the last few weeks and its time to contact that person! ...that's Spirit's Voice... blessing me, and I am blessed abundantly when pay attention, and heed; doing so can change everything!
3.) the winter wonderland, picture postcard snow we had this morning...and milder temperatures
4.) renewed hope and encouragement
5.) the healing power of Rainbow Obsidian...and for my friend for teaching me how to use it
