The song of my heart exults in gratitude for...
~ Trey, my beloved, and especially for the light in your eyes when you look at me.
~ abundance. Thank you God for abundance being the natural state, so that when I catch myself entertaining the idea of scarcity, I can return to knowing.
~ bankruptcy (to my own amazement!). It’s like going to the dentist, but on a bigger scale. I dread going to the dentist, yet I am grateful that there are dentists. Likewise, I am dreading the process of bankruptcy, yet I am grateful for the opportunity of a clean financial slate.
~ Movement Mass and NIA. It has taken me almost 50 years to unleash creative, expressive, freestyle movement, and I am experiencing myself in a completely new way.
~ our children. Thank you, thank you, thank you for choosing me as your mother. I am blessed and truly humbled by your presence in my life. (Connor just came home from NU tonight!! Mason is completing a couple of college applications. And Gracie has a basketball tournament this weekend.)
~ my earthly support network. Network Chiropractic (Peter and Amy), acupuncture (Stacey), body/emotional processing work (Janet), massage (Michelle and Brandy), energy work and spiritual counseling (Denise). My mind, body and spirit continue to heal with your compassionate assistance.
~ my parent’s and mother-in-law. They are all still present on this planet and in decent health. I do not take this for granted.
~ my Spirit support network and Mother Earth. My heart is full with love for you and from you.
~ my dear friends and my extended family. You all enrich my life.
~ my healthy body. Yes! I cherish all of the experiences this masterful creation allows me.
~ Oreo. Although I can lose my patience with your barking, I appreciate you for getting me outside for our walks, for staying in bed for as long as I am in it, and for the tender daily moments of bringing me back to presence.
~ hope, love, kindness, beauty, creativity, possibilities...God and His/Her creation.
Thanks I give, I receive, I am.
Thanks-giving, thanks-receiving, thanks-being.
