Gratitude Adjustment

I am grateful that...

 

* I have a husband who loves me and who I love & can respect , is physically demonstrative with affection, pets, and cuddles, and supports us both in comfort.

 

*I have a pair of silly and serious kittehs, who nag me to get up, to pet them, to feed them, to play with them.

 

* I have exceptional health. I barely got a sniffle, for the last two years. My body is working well and responding to Martha Graham's "slow and steady pressure" as I incorporate loving movement into my daily habits.

 

*I have a good mind. I troubleshoot and bring creative problem solving skills to all kinds of situations, and sometimes can find the solution that eludes others.

 

* I have a good heart. I try to love well and without "judging", and to communicate proactively and with radical honesty. I try to bring health, clarity, and optimism wherever I go.

 

I am grateful for my ability to learn from my mistakes and to incorporate these lessons into my life. Every bit of learning has something to do that can make Life better, and even the small lessons (eat something when you get up if you have a Sad) have a remarkable impact. (like now.)

Great idea...we should think about the thinks that we are grateful for more often instead of just complaining about the negative stuff in life:).

I find the attitude of gratitude to be one damned useful tool in Getting Shit Done. Also in the stopping-beating-myself-up department.

thank you! (and since I don't think I remembered to do so, thank you so very much for the lovely Christmas card you sent me! I appreciated it vibrantly!)

You're good enough, you're smart enough, and gosh-darnit, people like you!

heh. Yup.
And I can choose where to focus my attentions, more often then not, and not dwell on my faults and failings but instead where I want to do Good In The World.

You are kind to say so, my friend.
