It's been a while since I've written a public gratitude list. So here's the things that I'm grateful to God for today:
* The warmer weather of the last two days
* That I'm back to reading the gospels and meditating
* That I'm sleeping well and waking up rested
* That know I'm loved by God
* For my older sister
* That I love to learn
* For Star Trek reruns on Netflix
* For my friends
* For my church family
* That I'm learning when to let go and not hang on
* That if "bad" things happen it's not a reflection on me being bad.
* For discovering writing by Anthony de Mello - he certainly is giving me a way to look at life differently
* For my priest who sometimes ticks me off but I know he has the flock (and my) spiritual good as his priority. It's wonderful to know he has my back
* That I can live a frugal life and only work two days a week
* That I am learning to speak my truth
* That I'm learning to be open to hear others hear their truth
* That I love to make eye contact with people, even if it's not reciprocated
* That God had me hide the Word in my heart
* That I'm learning to have confidence in myself, because the depth of myself is God.
* That I'm getting healthier
* That I seldom have a down day and, if I do, it only lasts for a few hours
* That I have so much peace and joy
* That I have my little home that feels so homey
* That my Christmas tree is still up and it brings me joy and I'm at a place where I no longer care if others think it's weird that I am enjoying an extra-long holiday season with twinkly lights
* That the winter has been mild
* That I have contentment with what is
* That I still have goals and desires
* That God loves me
* That God has given me love for Him
* That I am learning to love others with God's love
* That I am starting to understand a few things about quantum physics
* That I can learn something and state it but not feel I have to export it and talk others into liking it, too. Aaah, growth.
* That I enjoy music
* That I can play music
* That I have lot of hobbies that can follow me into retrement
* That I'm learning solid state healing
* That the solid state healing is working
* that I have hope and peace about the future
* that I believe Romans 8:28 that all things work together for good.
