Gratefulness
Staying in the moment , watching my thoughts and making the best of today.
My email was on the dark web and I just changed my password. The uncertainty of fraud, theft, etc. is not a comfortable thing to live with. Since my cousin just went through identity theft I am grateful that she was able to deal with it and I am fortunate that I not have had to. I check balances daily and pay attention to credit score changes and do what I need to do. That is the material world we live in. I am responsible for the quality of my life not the outcome of what I cannot contr...
My email was on the dark web and I just changed my password. The uncertainty of fraud, theft, etc. is not a comfortable thing to live with. Since my cousin just went through identity theft I am grateful that she was able to deal with it and I am fortunate that I not have had to. I check balances daily and pay attention to credit score changes and do what I need to do. That is the material world we live in. I am responsible for the quality of my life not the outcome of what I cannot control. My reaction to the present moment with peace is all that concerns me right now. I know that I am being guided by grace when I am able to remain calm cool and collected amidst uncertainty.
I’ve been thinking about moving to a larger apartment by selling mine I realized there is no need to move right now. I am managing just fine and there is no need to make my life complicated. I just need to get exercise that is the real missing link.
Nothing is as it seems. So saying “yes” to me means contentment and with that comes possibilities I might not have noticed before due to resistance or discontentedness with what is. Being grateful for where I’m at at this stage in my life is the best way to say “yes” and grow from here.
To look into life insurance so that my burial is not a burden to my loved ones. Recently two people I know died penniless recently without a will and without money in the bank. Both died suddenly and young. I thought I was responsible but when I witnessed the above I see there are areas I need to take care of so I don’t leave loose ends when my time comes.
What inspires me is to have another chance to begin again today with pleasure in simple things.
Life is a gift not to be taken for granted. Not something earned or manipulated by our own doing or interpreted by our own understanding. It is an awe inspired journey of everyday undertakings that show us a hint of the miraculous if we can be open enough to sense the presence of glory beyond words reflected in every waking moment.
40 lbs for starters. I’m sure i’d feel a lot lighter physically and spiritually. Not feeling vibrant is not healthy and not doing anything about it is self sabotaging. So letting go of the feelings associated with weight gain is a place to start.
Difficulties continue to provide opportunities for growth.
Openness~ Peace and oneness. Connection without a care or self conscious thought. Lighness of being.
In getting with my spiritual director she encouraged me to reflect on the ways I see God working in my life at the end of the day. Where I felt ease and no resistance and was in harmony with what is. To me that leads to awareness and appreciation to what I am able to notice in the here and now and less focus on what’s going on in my head. I aim to practice that and go to help me go with the flow and give up control.
Not much lately. The pandemic took its tole as did depression for many years. I have found it difficult to get a momentum going in doing anything. Therapy ended and had little effect anyway. It was a long time overdue to end. I take pictures and funny videos of my kitten and send it to relatives and watch tv. I have lost interest in many things and hope that my life will open up again. I’m here to work on gratitude to counteract whatever is preventing me from making the best of l...

I’m here to work on gratitude to counteract whatever is preventing me from making the best of life. It’s not easy to write this. I’m not here to pretend.
I’m grateful that my kitten is feeling better and back to his playful self. I’m grateful for the Vet who treated him. There is nothing like the sound of a kitten playing, eating and purring….. I’m grateful for the peace and quiet I feel inside my being.
Get rid of debt. Let no debt remain outstanding except to love one another. Romans 13:8 A friend just got locked out of owning an apartment due to dept to income. I didn’t know what that meant so I looked it up. It showed me that I must reduce a credit card debt in order to increase my credit score in the event I plan to move at some point. It was a wake up call to me. When you know better you do better. I can do better and I must. Anything that weighs me down I must do my best t...

I don’t know what the future holds but I’d like to be ready for anything.
Yes! The connection and ability to listen to the small voice is what makes life worth living!
I’m leaning to trust and speak up when necessary.
I knew an SK once. He was a massage therapist/yoga teacher. He became very ill and later after recovery went on to study acupuncture. He was one in a million! He embodied loving kindness. A pure soul. Seeing your name reminded me of him. He faced uncertainty and overcame many odds. He sounds like you! So positive and loving. What a soul! I’m glad I got to know him for a brief moment in time. Just thinking about him gives makes me feel at ease. I know this is odd that I am sa...

Yes, prayers for the people who have suffered in this tragedy and their families. We too who witness events like this is heart wrenching. Prayer is the need of the hour to aid in relief for all of us. We are witnessing so many disasters it is all so incomprehensible and devastating.
My heart goes out to you and your cat. I pray for the best possible outcome. I took my cat in twice in one week and have no regrets. To be the advocate for our pets is the best right action on their behalf no matter what the cost. Their love is unconditional and are at our mercy.
How inspiring!
