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.. 7 Reply Hot Sauce4 days agoHot SauceRight 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. 7 Reply Mica4 days agoMicaSo many wonderful posts in the Gratitude Lounge today, and so many opportunities to enjoy responding to them!

Gratitude is essential to this feeling state. Gratitude. Appreciation. A kind of wondrous kinship.

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. 4 Reply Patricia4 days agoPatriciaChoosing 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. 6 Reply Amor fati4 days agoAmor fatiI sit in gratitude today for 24 years of 24 hour days free from recreational drugs and alcohol.

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.
