FYI

I started my daily gratitude posts back in March [as I recall], cuz I had long been told that “finding at least one thing to be grateful for every day” was a good spiritual practice that would have unforeseen benefits, so I finally decided to try it.

I'm pausing now to take stock and report: since I began doing this, my general mood has lifted and I have had significant insights into myself and my perspectives on life [without my directing conscious effort toward these things]. I am generally in a much better internal place now, although none of the external physical circumstances of my life have improved during that time.

Joincidence?

I have wondered if/how these entries - thinking them up and sharing them - have affected you. I know they have had a wonderful impact on me. Every time I read one, I am reminded to think of one of my own and I do and I enjoy the heck out of the entire thing.

I thank you muchly for the joincidence!

Well, you know, if you ever wonder anything regarding me, you are always free to ask. :)

You know that Moss picture just makes me giggle.

Well yes, that is part of the reason I chose to use it there, he admitted shamefacedly...

I figured that and appreciate it. I'm a sucker for Moss, no two ways about it.

Hey! That's my Grateful For for today!!

During some of my worse depressions, I always kept a calendar by my bed and made myself write down at least one good thing for the day every night before going to bed. Those calendars really kept me going during some pretty dark times.

Your daily gratitude posts never fail to make me smile :-).

Those calendars really kept me going during some pretty dark times.

Funny how that works, eh? But it really does!

And thanks! :)
