What Are You Grateful For Today?

Today I was grateful to be alive. To see well enough to count 13 sparrows in flight, to hear the bluebird's song and watch her take a bath in the pool, to feel a sense of home among strangers, to share friendship with a woman my age and swap stories about our children, to be able to walk down the street while hearing the laughter of children, to smell the family barbecues with Latino Music roaring in the back as the children sang in another language. Today...it felt right to be in my skin and love my life.
 
I am so grateful that I live alone and have no one giving me a hard time by putting down the way I live my life.
I am grateful for the day of peace of mind and heart that I have experienced.
For a roof over my head, food to eat and clothes to wear and money to pay my bills.
For my apartment that is my home.
 
I'm grateful that I've learned to become mindful enough to recognize that anxieties I'm feeling today are probably connected to the sweat I woke up in this morning. And that the sweat I woke up in probably had something to do with therapy yesterday.

I'm grateful that I was able to catch it and recognize it and see it early.

I'm grateful that I realized that even though I'm not totally conscious of what exactly the specific thing is that my brain is processing I was able to make the decision to be gentle with myself today and to indulge myself in things that make me feel good. And to read books that make me feel good pull me in and distract me from the hard work my brain is doing.
 
I'm so chuffed with myself today, as I actually managed to speak to TWO strangers today!

I spoke to the lass in the checkout, then to a bloke in the car park, we were talking about the Mobility Scheme cars, for disabled folk.

Then, when I got home I spoke to my neighbour who was just getting into his car, so I made a big improvement in my people skills today, for which I'm grateful.
