Gratefulness
Living in the now by focusing on what’s happening in the moment. Just finished my morning meditation and enjoying the experience of tranquility, positivity and looking forward to the new day which begins. Gratitude graces my heart
As everyday, I make time for silence when I wake up early and the sun has just started to rise. The silence allOwns me to concentrate n my mediation and self reflection without interruption..
With my bedroom window at night, I am graced to the sounds of birds chirping at 4am . They are announcing a new day, new opportunities for me.
I’ve grown by letting myself become vulnerable to my wife telling her things that she was not aware of and by expressing my feelings. This is creating a better bond between us.
Playfulness in practicing my guitar and playing my music learning an art is a lifelong adventurer where individuals can always improve and have something to express their skills and emotions to others
Forest Gump.. I’ve watched it at least 5o times.. the memories of growing up during those times, the music and the meaning and lessons learned by Forrest.
People change over time and being in a long term relationship means evolution and learning to accept those changes with gratitude and love. By doing so love flourishes when acceptance and support is Present and learning to let go of the past.
Right now when I do my daily meditations, journaling, reading these questions and lighting the candle. And oh yes, sipping my coffee as I listen to the birds singing and watch daylight dissipating the darkness signaling a new day, new opportunities!
Living in the present and accepting what is going on now no matter what happens prevents disappointments, what ifs or what might happen from entering the equation. We can’t change the past and often we can’t control what will happen especially when others are involved.
By accepting myself and others for who we are even though we might not agree. By providing love compassion and support to all and being there for them and ourselves. Starting each day with reflection,, Gratefulness and acceptance
Gratefulness opens my heart to others, allowing empathy, love and understanding to arise and settle within my soul
A new day, a new beginning..knowing what it is being alive and appreciation life itself
With everything going on around me and in the world, it’s imperative that I take time everyday to find peace and serenity. For me , early morning is the best time after I wake up, setting up and making a daily ritual of meditation, focusing on my breathing, listening to the Lone clock ticking, the birds chirping outside, seeing the sun rise over the horizon and greeting each day as the first or last day of my life. This sets me up on a good note ready to deal with anything that comes my wa...
With everything going on around me and in the world, it’s imperative that I take time everyday to find peace and serenity.

This sets me up on a good note ready to deal with anything that comes my way.
The suffering or pain that I may have inadvertently caused to someone. Once I am aware I feel sad, responsible for my actions. But I don’t blame myself. I tell the person that I am sorry but more than that I open up emotionally to empathize with them and explain how I feel. The next step is to use this as a lesson for self analysis and corrections so that I will not do the same by being more aware of my words or actions towards others.
By being kind, compassionate and loving to myself. By doing so, I can then spread the same to others. Sometimes we act these ways to others yet treat ourselves badly. One has to look after oneself.
Méditation, taking deep breathes, focusing on my breathing and being mindful in the present.
Having gone through anxiety and depression throughout many periods in my life and recognizing the reasons, I have learned to dig deep into my feelings, experiencing sadness and anger then by means of gratitude and living in the present, I have grown emotionally, learn how to deal with problems, remained alcohol free for 10 and a half years. Even though it took my 60 years of being alive, I feel proud of myself for my strength and resilience through the lows in my life. I am a survivor..
All books are welcomed. In this day of technology and video, we no longer need to use our imaginations. I remember as a child reading a book and envisioning what things were like, what people looked like etc.. and everyone who reads the same book has a different view. I still remember reading a book then watching the movie and noticing the difference. I feel it s unfortunate that using imagination has become a lost art particularly with children. Imagination sparks cognitive function and deve...
