Happy Thought for July 6, 2007

There are more people out there who will love you just the way you are than you could ever imagine. Send out some telepathic invitations to your internal self acceptance party. You won't believe the diverse crowd of mindful, energetic folks that will show up.

The experiential life

Today I am grateful for:

Having so many options in my life.

Short trips to interesting places

Dreaming about long trips to exotic places- riding camels and elephants etc....

Getting over my fear of heights prior to riding camels and elephants in exotic places (in advance) :-)

Baseball tonight

Having the yaya's over tomorrow night

Summer storms, loud thunder and spikes of lightning across the sky

Yoga class at the center

Head back, mouth wide open, in the moment laughter

"Stop it, stop it, my stomach hurts" laughter

Michelle's postings and pictures from Washington

Mindfullness and being in each moment.

Family

Friends- That means you


Hugs

This morning I am grateful for:

Linda sending me the information and link to the Fire the Grid movement. Making a committment to myself to be sitting in joy and gratitude on 7-17 at 7:11 am.

Looking forward to our week of sleeping in a cabin by a lake. Seeing Jeff, David and Hayley. I miss having a little girl around to be silly with. We'll see if I can still get up on water skis.

The freedom and opportunity I have as an American woman. This is something I take for granted but know the majority of women in the world do not enjoy. I am not property of my husband, I can live where I choose, have as many babies as I choose, work where and if I choose, travel alone or with family, control my own money, eat more than I need each day, access quick and effective medical care, be protected from physical or sexual assault, get an education........

Freedom from fear based thinking.

Listening to birds singing as I write this.

My sister Kim and her husband Paul stopping to visit. They are riding to Seattle on a harley, just taking their time and stopping when they do. She is a teacher and he is retired navy. They have the rest of the summer to get home. Seeing my sister in the harley black leather was a hoot. The joy and excitment about their adventure that was apparent on their faces.

The surfacing of old stuff that my sisters visit facilitated. Being aware of where I let my old anger slip through in my comments to her. Knowing that it is time to let it all go. She is who she is and I can focus on what I love about her. I was not my best self on the day prior to her visit. I engaged in gossiping about her and that is not who I want to be.

Starting a new mosaic yesterday

Coffee and bagaels

Yoga class at the CLE

Plans to visit Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and Washington DC this late summer and early fall. Sam deciding he would like to take the train to Chicago for his birthday trip.

Loving my life just the way it is and knowing I can change it if I decide to do that.

All of you that are the mosaic of my life
