I created some magic: a couple of days ago, I was falling down the rabbit hole of a little pity-party (feeling sorry for myself). I was going along the party when one of the things I was telling myself jerked me out of the hole: it was something like “No one loves me”. And that is so untrue that it invalidated all the other negative thoughts that were going on at the same time. It was amazing how my mood shifted instantaneously.
And that got me to being grateful for all the caring I receive. How did I get so lucky?

Gratitude 342:
I am grateful for my chiropractor’s office always inspiring:

Think about gratitude!

I am grateful for the spring flowers, for the fragrances, for the leaves growing with such a vivid green.
I am grateful that I get to notice all of this.

I had serendipitous moment:
I went to a new supermarket where I had never been before and I bumped into a friend who also never shop there. We live in the same area of town, but it is the first time I bump into her.
I am grateful for the fun experience!

Despite the gray sky, there are some breathtaking sights of spring flowers. The lilac is about to blossom. I love the smell of lilacs.
I am grateful for standing on a blanket of petals.

I was in class this week-end. I love classes. Especially this one. They give me a sense that more is possible.
I am grateful for playing and friendshiping.

I took a detour this morning and took a different bus in order to admire the view.
I am grateful to be able to see the beauty.

My 365 gratitude posts project, for me, is about enjoying being alive, appreciating my life. Today, I realize that there are a multitude of little ways to enjoy being alive. (PM me if you want ideas). There is not one way or one thing that will make me appreciate my life once and for all but rather the sum of all the little things that I experience, notice, appreciate create an enjoyable life.
I am grateful for the sum of the little things (I love math)!

One of the easiest way I know to enjoy being alive is through great food. And great food prepared with passion, with great company and overlooking plump pink cherry blossoms, what a wonderful experience of being alive.
How did I get so lucky?
I am grateful for this experience.

Today in the lunchroom, someone said “we can’t complain about the weather”
I said jokingly: “that’s OK, there is so much more to complain about.”
And he replied: “No one listens, anyway”. So I said victoriously: “ that’s right so we might as well talk about gratitude!” Mouaaaah!
I am grateful for making myself laugh!
