mettagratitude

I am grateful for another beautiful day in San Diego, for the birds on my deck, the veggies in my garden and the graceful succulents in my labyrinth.

I am grateful for a day of writing committee letters.  I am grateful for the opportunity to graze on pea pods in the garden along with ripe tomato and zucchini. 

I am grateful for a lovely weekend in the mountains.  I am grateful for the joy of seeing 10 species of birds in ten minutes, beautiful pines and wildflowers, mountain and desert views.  I am grateful for an energizing hike, good friends, good food.  I am grateful to be home with my garden.  What a beautiful day!  I am grateful for the memory of my dad and late hubby on this Father’s Day.

I am grateful for the birds and trees at Mt. Laguna.  I am grateful for all my children and grandchildren. I am grateful for my home and garden.

I am grateful for time at Tassajara and Big Sur (Deetjens).  I am grateful for my family, my writing friends, my thinking friends, my music friends, my healer friends, my Facebook friends, my hiking friends, my Buddhist friends, my out-to-save-the-planet friends (most of whom are various multiples of the above).  Loved the positive feedback during my poetry workshop and writing group. Love the beautiful poems and writing shared with me.

I am grateful for some quiet time. 

I am grateful for kumquats, avocados, peas, and other fresh fruits and veggies right out of the garden.

I am grateful for the people helping people in Oklahoma.  I am sad for folks affected by it.  I am grateful to have the music of The Doors to remind me of impetuous youth!

I am grateful for a day of puttering in the garden and at the computer.  I am grateful my son and his family were not hit by the tornado in Wichita (but hope those who were are ok).

I am grateful I was able to see all my future healers graduate today.  I am grateful for time to write and garden.
