The inward inquiry (seeing who I am) is a strangely physical experience. It is like an energy, it is like an empowering, a physical tone, an uplift, a rootedness, courage, a faring forth into the world. It is enlivening. The result of this is seeing the outward “familiar” as anew. 3 Reply Linda1 month agoLindaI am looking outside at the trees just beginning to leaf out, and the birds flying around them. It is very peaceful and I am grateful for the gift of sight. 4 Reply Mica1 month agoMicaBeautiful fluffy clouds in a beautiful blue sky and the decorative chain hanging in the center of my balcony 3 Reply Hermann-Josef1 month agoHermann-JosefThe gift of smelling a wonderful Byriani (Indian Dish) which a friend of mine is preparing for dinner in my kitchen 7 Reply Mica1 month agoMicaYum! Enjoy, Hermann-Josef! 3 Reply Diane1 month agoDianeAs it always seems to be with me, it is my sense of hearing that I feel most gifted by. Ironic since I suffer with tinnitus. But over the years I have been habituated to the ringing and on some very blessed days all is quiet. I always give thanks for the quiet days!

That’s related to the main message of “The Beauty of Dusk – on vision lost and found” by Frank Bruni. I just finished it, and I recommend it. 1 Reply Diane1 month agoDianeMIca…thank you for sharing this. My therapist has shared that ringing in ears has been thought by some to be spiritual……messages from beyond. It’s an idea that I have been letting percolate. I want to always keep my heart open to mystery. Om Shanti friend.♥ 1 Reply Mary1 month agoMaryI am about to go on a walk outside with my husband on a beautiful day, so I am thankful for the gift of vision to see all of earth’s beautiful creations 2 Reply pkr1 month agopkrMy sense of hearing. I am truly enjoying the quiet, the calm, the peaceful quiet, with occasional bird song, while I do my “morning thing”. I am blessed. 3 Reply Chester1 month agoChesterMy hearing is giving me the gift of peace in this moment. By being able to trust my hearing, I am able to know that all is ok in my house and surroundings, despite not being able to see beyond my current room. There are no thuds, crashes, screams, or whimpers – only the sound of birds chirping, air flowing, computer softly buzzing, and cars driving in the distance. 2 Reply Hot Sauce1 month agoHot SauceMy eyes are allowing me to see the bright sunshine lighting up the house, as well as the blue sky and the beautiful tree outside my window. 3 Reply Charlie T1 month agoCharlie THaving recently moved here, I am experiencing much of my immediate surroundings for the first time. As I sat down this morning, I noticed that my neighbor across the street has beautiful white flowering plants that are poking over the top of her fence. I will definitely take a closer look today. 3 Reply Em1 month agoEmMy eyes are able to see the beautiful colors of the blossoming flowers surrounding my house and the dazzling sunrise that rose into the sky the morning fresh air with a light breeze added to the beauty of this morning 2 Reply Ose1 month agoOseThe delicious taste of food shared at lunch together with some friends today. The beauty of the well-prepared variety of salad, some cheese and fried potatoes, the joyful company with my friends and the sun warming us while sitting outside the restaurant made the break a wonderful experience for all of us. 2 Reply Pilgrim1 month agoPilgrimMy eyes are ready for my morning read … a new book at the ready. 2 Reply Diane1 month agoDiane💞 1 Reply Laura1 month agoLauraThe warmth of my morning tea. 3 Reply Holly in Ohio1 month agoHolly in OhioEvery year I watch the maple leaves unfold outside these windows in the spring. It takes a few weeks to go from the red bud at the end of a gray branch, into tiny pops of red-bronze leaves, emerging like little lacy tents at the end of branches, then the color shifts to spring green, and daily those lacy tents get larger, and lastly open like umbrellas into a maple leaf canopy. I've been watching every spring for decades and I never tire of it.

I’ve been watching every spring for decades and I never tire of it. Some mornings are grey, a couple mornings have even been snowy with the snow sitting on the leaves, and some mornings are sunny with the sunrays coming low across the landscape. Some mornings are both sunny and breezy, so that the light and leaves dance together. It is like a musical piece, a symphony, that I get to hear every spring, gently progressing it’s melody towards summer.

They are announcing a new day, new opportunities for me. 4 Reply carol1 month agocarolI’m very happy that I have a happy thought. 2 Reply Mary Pat1 month agoMary PatMy eyes are seeing the coffee beans in the grinder, waiting for me to turn the knob., then pouring the freshly ground beans into the coffee machine, and seeing that deep, dark liquid pour into the coffee pot. Wonderful sight! 4 Reply Butterfly1 month agoButterflyRight now I am appreciating my eyesight. Yesterday I had a long overdue eye test (due to the restrictions) and I need quite a significant change in the lenses so I am looking forward to having my new glasses and seeing everything much more clearly. Meanwhile I can see a beautiful blue sky with fluffy white clouds and flowers bursting into bloom in my garden and all the lovely things I have around me that enhance my life and give me comfort. 7 Reply Antoinette1 month agoAntoinetteMy sense of taste is offering me pleasure of a crisp sweet apple. 5 Reply 1 2 Next » My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
