Day 26 - Thankful For ...
On Facebook a friend of mine inspired me to note something for which I was thankful from 11/1 until Thanksgiving. I decided to do that, too, as a kind of practice of gaining more of an "attitude of gratitude" and as a way to practice focusing, at least one time per day on something about which I felt truly positive.
And additionally, to remember at least one moment each day where I was in my vortex.
Some days it was hard to find or remember something for which I was thankful, which left me feeling a bit concerned that that I wasn't as mindfully aware of the positive moments that must have existed on those days, as though I was a bit "spoiled" or taking things for granted. But also I realized that sometimes I just didn't want to share the things I had found a true gratitude for with the entirety of my online social network. And so I thought maybe I would try to keep the gratitude per day with LJ. Or something like it. For as long as it feels good to do.
So for today: Thankful for having the awareness to shift from the pain of fear and hopelessness to feelings of prospective joy and inspiration.
