Daily Question, August 1

Choosing gratitude in this moment, what do I notice is going well?

  • Antoinette

    My cup of coffee is perfect. I am at home and it’s safe and peaceful. What a joy to be able to wake up to life.

    I’m grateful for my breath. To breathe freely without thinking is the gift of life itself.

    I am sitting on a deck surrounded by green trees. I am watching a hummingbird. I am in a beautiful surroundings in Vermont with someone I enjoy being with. I have health and strength and good food to eat. I am able to be nurtured in body and mind and spirit. I may not know what my teaching situation will be like in the fall, but I have a job and a paycheck.

    The day is going well. The sun is shining and I’m off to take the dog a walk.

    The tiny, minute virus – Covid-19. It reminds me that I am part of something much, much bigger than what plays out in the theatre of my mind. It reminds me of the critical importance of being in harmony and alignment with all of creation. It reminds me of my responsibility to act to move towards the Truth every day..

    Right now, I’m working on a spiritual memoir about my journey from when I was a teenager until now. Not only might this be an opportunity to offer a story that might be able to help others; it is also helping me process some of the trauma I went through during that time. I’m finding it pretty easy to get into the “flow” when I write it and am also remembering the new worlds it opened to me.

    So many wonderful posts in the Gratitude Lounge today, and so many opportunities to enjoy responding to them! (✿◕‿◕✿)

    I am blessed to be here for a new day. My coffee is great. The sun is shining bright, the wispy clouds are delightful and the birds are joyfully singing. I am very grateful for this quiet time and the opportunity to be with my family. Blessings to All….❤️?❤️

    I am feeling the living Universe and my embeddedness in it. Gratitude is essential to this feeling state. Gratitude. Appreciation. A kind of wondrous kinship. As is the Lifeforce herself is subtly flowing between me and all things.

    When I don’t go outside to watch the sunrise, I begin the day with a practice called Him Hof breathing. I won’t describe it. But I just did it for today and it went really well today. On days I watch sunrise I get up earlier and do it before going outside. Those of you who are interested may go online to learn about it. It can be found on YouTube. I have the app and have used that for months. It is very relaxing. It is a powerful way to start the day.

  • Patricia

    Choosing gratitude opens my eyes to see: the morning sun, the new day, the hummingbirds happily sipping at the feeder and visiting the pink and maroon monarda in the garden, the taste of my morning coffee…. I read the messages of gratitude from brother & sister travelers on this thread, and am inspired and additionally grateful. God, keep my eyes open in gratitude this day.

  • Present Moment

    I sit in gratitude today for 24 years of 24 hour days free from recreational drugs and alcohol.
    Today is cloudy… Perfect for the fruit tree planting I’ve scheduled to celebrate this birthday.

  • sunnypatti

    I’m alive, sitting here drinking coffee in my new home in the country. I’m healthy and really grateful to have the day off!

  • Trish

    The sky is beautiful this morning & I’m alive to see another day on this planet. What joy will I encounter today?! It’s a bit cooler & all the windows are open. I plan to do a bit of cleaning today & prepare for a birthday party for tomorrow. Barb is 78!! She is our dear, sweet, feisty one who is thrilled w/ the simplicity of dot to dot books & chocolate cake w/ a frosting frog. What a great life I have…

  • Cathy

    My morning coffee is perfect!

    In spite of what’s going on around us, I am grateful for all that I have, the people in my life. By taking extra precautions i’ve Been able to avoid getting sick and that because of my daily « exercises » I have keep my negative thinking somewhat at bay. Yes at times the thinking does pop up and I have to deal with them. I try to look around and notice other people who are not doing as well mentally and financially and try to reach out to them to listen and help if possible

  • EJP

    Everything in my life on this new day is well when gratitude is my chosen path.

  • Howie Geib
    A great deal is going well. In the most major areas, I am deeply grateful for being well. Despite my getting wiped out financially and losing a business to COVID, I am going to be able to keep my home, and probably most important, I have skirted depression. While the future remains uncertain I continue to negotiate each day with a sense of well-being. I do not believe it is ingrained denial of our generally dystopian national realities, as much as a knowing that in this day I have the wherewitha...

    A great deal is going well. In the most major areas, I am deeply grateful for being well. Despite my getting wiped out financially and losing a business to COVID, I am going to be able to keep my home, and probably most important, I have skirted depression. While the future remains uncertain I continue to negotiate each day with a sense of well-being. I do not believe it is ingrained denial of our generally dystopian national realities, as much as a knowing that in this day I have the wherewithal to not just survive, but thrive. And this morning there is not a ripple on the face of the Long Island Sound as the eastern horizon glows near sunrise. I will have a good row, and greet the day with the osprey and the gulls.
