Clarity

This morning I am grateful for:

Waking up early to a quiet house

Being able to sit on my screen porch and listen to the birds and the wind while I write this.

Technology

A beautiful blue sky

The absolute abundance in my life, the knowing that I have all that I need plus plenty to give away

Teachers that are there exactly when I am ready to learn the lessons

Friends that love unconditionally, listen and offer wise feedback

Moments of clarity and my own ability to be one of those friends

Breath and it's ability to bring me back to this moment, free of judgement, control and habit thinking

Having Levi here. The peace of mind in knowing that he is safe and well. His wonderful gentle nature. How helpful he is. My surprise at his willingness to help with what ever needs to be done. The way he automatically takes whatever I am carrying out of my hands to carry it for me. Letting him have all the time he needs to find his direction and make the decisions about what he will do next.

Scott for being so generous and undemanding. He is the opposite of controlling. His challenging of my refusal to get a car for Taylor. His asking me to focus on her success and accomplishments rather than the idea that she needs to prove herself over and over. My coming to understand that my fear of having children who are "spoiled and entitled" is conditioned thinking from my Dad. Working to get my head around the idea that feeling like hot shit who should have everything wonderful in life without suffering to get it, is not such a bad thing. Being aware of my impulse to tell you all that "Taylor is not like that" haha old habits die hard. Seeing that the question "Did you work hard enough to get that?" has been an unconcious mantra for me.

Sam's laughter and full immersion in where ever he is in any given moment.

The color green- new leaves, beautiful eyes, split pea soup....

The i's- ipods, ideas, ice cream...

Dreams while awake and asleep

Travel plans like Indiana, Seattle, Idaho, New York, China and fantasies like Belize, Costa Rica, Morocco, Turkey, India, Greece....

You, you, you
