happy monday
months ago i racked my brain for a fresh, new, different and slightly challenging new years resolution. my notional response to this seeking landed me on the brilliant idea to write each day something that i was grateful for. yearning to actually check a mark on this new years resolution at the closing of 2011 (and knowing my irregular sleep pattern when a party or boy or phone call pops up) i settled to commit to 300 days of "i am grateful fors" out of the 365 in the year.
i am getting close to day 150 now. can i tell you that it is truly incredible how many wonders there are to be grateful for when you become cognitively aware of them. half way into my goal and i have not yet had a repeat. i have not even had a night where my mind is hesitant to find anything to fill that empty page. sure there have been bad days..days where i want to be mad or sad or just plain give up...but when i take a moment to just think or remember or open my mind up a little bit more with pen in hand, i have found that even in the worst of moods we can find reason to feel blessed.
so there you have it. i can't believe its
may already. but i am grateful to say that it has been an incredible year. partly because of the circumstances that have occurred in my life lately, but also because i have been able to be more aware this year of what I have been blessed with. so lovers and friends.. tonight i am grateful for power of writing. and its way of bringing us to a remembrance.
peace to my neice in greece. love you all.
