“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.” — Buddha
I am a grateful woman today.
- I am grateful for my new motto: If I’m doing it it must be sacred.
- I am grateful for how much delight leaning into this idea is bringing me. For example, I am grateful for how powerfully this is changing my experience of partner dancing. I experienced a wildly higher percentage of fun and joy dancing this weekend than I ever have before. It simply evaporated my doubts and opened the door to a heart-based, amazing time. Can’t wait for the next time I can go dancing!!
- I am grateful for getting to dance to Kim Nalley and Barbara Morrison fronting their bands again. I love dancing to live music!
- I am grateful for Apple tech support. Seriously. Couldn’t print. Went to ExpressLane, Apple called me immediately, asked for a senior adviser after three minutes, got one, a brilliant one, and everything is fixed!
- I am grateful that I buy AppleCare for every device. Allows me access to their brilliant tech support.
- I am grateful for spending time in the garden today. Granted, I was uprooting weeds and spreading snail poison, which I don’t feel bad about at all. Seriously. I am done with examining every single kale and chard leaf and picking off the snails.
- I am grateful to have been reminded to warn the dog owners here about the snail bait, as it’s harmful to pets. I made a flyer and handed it around.
- I am grateful for fresh eggs from the henhouse.
- I am grateful that I will eat a good meal in a couple of hours. Today is my New Moon fast, sunset to sunset. Soon! Yum.
- I am grateful for the long and loving conversation with my daughter Rose yesterday. I am so blessed!
- I am grateful for the return of the African Dance teacher at the Y. She’s fabulous! I went yesterday, the class kicked my butt, and I’ll be going back. Every week!
- I’m grateful for freedom from discouragement (see that motto again…).
- I’m grateful for my gratitude practice, and you who join in with me.
- I’m grateful for this New Moon/New (Jewish) Year weekend. Did you see this article? There’s still time to ride that energetic wave and do the ritual.
- I’m grateful that the Yankees won today!!
