GratitudeLog

I am grateful for Sheilah who unfailingly posts something on GratitudeLog and it encourages me when I get notice of these posts by email.

I appreciate that I have a full tummy, too full sometimes, when there are many people in this world who do not; and, that I am doing my part to help others by my charitable efforts in this regard.

I appreciate my friends who have 3 acres in the country where I live in Oregon for their hospitality and willingess to host a get together of like-minded, spiritual friends.

I interviewed last Friday for a job in a sector where I have experience and which has been depressed for a couple of years due to the ecomony. I felt good about how it went from my end because I was w… read more

Paulina G. is a contributor on gratitude log and is the person who told me about it. She has had two personal losses in a short period of time, so please send good thoughts and love her way.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
Henry David Thoreau -- a pre-hippie for sure!

Sometimes it takes me a while to get to the perspective of being grateful. I must need to go through the mental gyrations of slogging my way through bogs of past thinking mechanisms before I get clari… read more

I am grateful for my trip last weekend to Seattle. I was able to visit with my son and his girlfriend who are students. I also met up with a friend who, like me, used to live in Seattle but we both li… read more

I second guess myself a lot and when that happens I feel fearful and insecure. My divine guidance has the controls and this Higher Power knows what I need and when I need it. I am whole and blessed wi… read more

Let them eat cake -- one revolution after another based on greed and selfishness. It's not about me all the time. The other person has rights. I am sorry when I forget.

When I am angry, I lose the love. God allows me more latitude with my shortcomings than I do. I am less judgmental today and will practice patience tomorrow.

When my heart feels weary, I can listen to Ryan Bingham singing The Weary Kind. He makes me smile all the time I'm listening to his husky voice speak the truth.

I am grateful to know that when my patience is wearing thin, I can take a few breaths and relax my mind. It's by taking control of my thoughts and feelings that I can have the outcomes I desire. I rel… read more

As my UI benefits are coming to an end and I haven't a job offer yet, I have to find more faith to remove the fear than I ever have had to before. It's a matter of keeping my mind on what are the gre… read more

I am grateful for sharing lunch with my mid-twenties son yesterday, who still takes time out of his weekend to be with his mom.

I am grateful for Gratitude Log because as soon as I start typing something... I can feel myself shift in perspective.

I am grateful for hot baths during the NW winters to help me relax and get clean too!

Yesterday I had a mini-miracle take place. A job scenario/reference case was requested from a company where I had interviewed. At first look I was dismayed and did not want to do it. But I knew if I w… read more

I can't believe it has been 6 days since I wrote anything! I promised myself to write every couple of days... procrastination is my downfall but not for long! I'm energizing myself today to renew my c… read more

Today is a good day for living life fully with the richness of experiences available.

A daily spiritual practice has showed me miracles all around when I believe that my higher power is guiding me.

When I make a mistake it reminds me that I am human and that others have done their share too. Not to judge means myself, as well!

I release all things that hold me back whether they be physical possessions, old ideas and concepts that no longer work, or habits that keep me stuck in the muck.
