Today is one of the few perfect days we get. Partly sunny, around 70, no humidity, no big winds. I am a happy camper outside.😊 Got a lot done, ran to mom’s, stopped to pick up some snacks, talked outside with the neighbor and now doing laundry. Hubs picked up fish dinners🐟 so I wouldn’t have to cook. Tonight I will relax before I lightly clean the house tomorrow. Will have that drink you sent watching the game.🍸

Most of the weekend will be nice so we will grill. Maybe a few showers Sunday afternoon and spotty on Monday. Keeping fingers crossed🤞hubs and nephew get their golfing in. This is marathon weekend, a big pet walk and also baseball each day so it will be very busy.🏃‍♀️🐕⚾

Have a relaxing weekend with hubs, Poppy, the kitties and all who visit your yard.🤗💖

An Experiment in Gratitude

Awareness of gratitude will allow you to savor and, above all, appreciate your life with renewed grace.

Sometimes we forget to take the time to recognize the richness that defines our lives. This may be because many of the messages we encounter as we go about our affairs prompt us to think about what we don’t have rather than all the abundance we do enjoy. Consequently, our gratitude exists in perpetual conflict with our desire for more, whether we crave time, convenience, wealth, or enlightenment. Yet understanding and truly appreciating our blessings can be as simple as walking a mile in another’s shoes for a short period of time. Because many of us lead comparatively insular lives, we may not comprehend the full scope of our prosperity that is relative to our sisters and brothers in humanity.

If you find taking an inventory of your life’s blessings difficult, consider the ease with which you nourish your body and mind, feed your family, move from place to place, and attend to tasks at hand. For a great number of people, activities you may take for granted, such as attaining an education, buying healthy food, commuting to work, or keeping a clean house, represent great challenges. To experience firsthand the complex tests others face as a matter of course in their daily lives, try living without the amenities you most often take for granted. This can be a great experiment to undertake with your entire family or a classroom. Understanding working poverty can be as easy as endeavoring to buy nutritious foods with a budget of $100 for the week. If you own a car, relying on public transportation for even just a day can help you see the true value of the comfort and conveniences others do without. As you explore a life without things you may normally take for granted, ask yourself for how long you could endure.

The compassionate gratitude that floods your heart when you come to fully realize your abundance may awaken pangs of guilt in your heart. Be aware, however, that the purpose of such an experiment is to open your heart further in gratitude and compassion. This awareness can help you attain a deeper level of gratitude that will allow you to savor and, above all, appreciate your life with renewed grace. AMEN! I believe. ✨🌹
