Daily Question, May 22

What is it you plan to do with this one precious day?

  • Yu-Tzu Shih

    Love and try to appreciate everyone.

  • Hot Sauce

    Continue to learn and absorb whatever I can that will make me a wiser, more loving person.

  • Sheila

    I want to say thank-you to The Gratefulness Team for this question. It has helped me to focus on living in the present moment, the only moment there ever is.
    With love and a grateful heart, Sheila 😊

    • Serafina

      Thank you Sheila for helping us and for all the thoughtful loving-kindness you bring to our community. We are grateful for your presence.

  • Elizabeth M Jones

    To think good thoughts, to do good deeds, to put others at ease, relieve the suffering of others and bring glory to God.

  • Doreen Nixon

    Just be and enjoy!

  • Mica

    Yikes! What a dream! Warm wishes, and hugs to you, Jodi

  • Mica

    Oh, my! I guess it’s time to make plans.

  • Karmit

    I plan to use this one precious day to make at least one small step along my spiritual path of seeking and enjoy each and every precious moment!

  • Kevin Carroll

    Having had a healthy breakfast and a brief visit with my two grandkids, I’m ready to begin my day of writing. For some, writing is a chore, or, perhaps, a job. For me, it is a gift. After 40 years in the classroom, I now have time to write on a regular basis. It’s therapeutic. And yes, today, like all days, is precious!

  • tashonasmith

    Kick butt and take names at work, spend time being present with my children, prepare a delicious evening meal for my family, and take time to reflect and be grateful for everything that I’ve been given.

  • Antoinette

    My intention is to live this day by being mindful of each moment with gratitude and love.

  • GCharlotte

    Today is a precious day and yet it is spontaneous.This morning I took some snap shots of myself through the mirror which is rare.They turned out pretty cute.I am chewing gum again for smoking .I will read.I will speak to my neighbors. I will just enjoy that I am alive today! I will speak on the phone to my family.

  • Linda

    I agree–not watch or read the news!

  • pkr

    I intend to “sow good seeds” today. Smile where and when I can, try not to anger, laugh and stay in the present moment. Oh and yes, not watch the news.
    Happy Day to All. ❤️🙏😊❤️

  • Jeana

    I guess I’d better pay attention to ‘the day’. Auto-pilot is always an option, but too many days go that route. I don’t want to plan today; I want flow. Yesterday was all planned out. A compromise is possible. I will combine plan with flow. The plan is to let it flow.

  • Sunny

    I plan to watch my thoughts and sit with them if I need to and then let them go. I plan to be kind to myself. I also plan to be present with my children. Be open with their interests and learn and listen from them.

  • Emily

    I plan to spread light throughout my day and to the people I come in contact with. I plan to have a “clear the slate” before going into all situations today so that I am able to receive new insights free from preconditioned thoughts, assumptions, and programs.

  • Carla

    (I too was reminded of Mary Oliver by this question). My intention is to be open to however this day unfolds; with a willingness to respond to the day & those needing help as I’m able. I’ll also practice self care wearing warm clothes as heavy rain & a damp wetness lingers on.

  • Sheila

    I will attempt to live in the present moment as much as possible, to quiet the “voice in my head” with its constant stream of thoughts. Wishing everyone a peaceful day.
    Blessings, Sheila 🌻

    • Rita

      I echo your efforts for the day Sheila. To live in the present moment and quiet my constant chatter. May we both be a little more present to the day, a day of peace.
      Rita

      • Sheila

        Thank-you, Rita for your kind reply! It gave me a feeling of peace.🕊

  • Misty

    Watch the sunset. Nature’s spectacle, every day. Missed by most, but rewarding those who – by chance or design – bear witness to the day’s end.
