mettagratitude

I am grateful for getting some gardening and writing in as well as some more work on my mom’s estate. 

I am grateful for a fun Easter with my daughter’s family and for time for memories with my daughter at my mom’s.

Good grief!  I didn’t realize I missed a day of the journal.  Last night I ushered at the Lyceum for a very thought provoking play–a fantasy about MLK’s last night–called The Mountain Top.  I guess there was a glitch in the projection system, but the acting was so great it wasn’t needed.  I am grateful I was able to see the play and I am grateful for getting to garden today.

I am grateful for the new friends I am making through my Osher Memoir class.  It was great fun having dinner with them at The Living Room after class!

I am grateful that daughter Melody will be here tomorrow when I sell my son’s vibraphone for him.  I am grateful I am not going to set the alarm clock for tomorrow.  I am grateful for the lovely variations on red equal signs that dominate my facebook and my ally avatar for my school facebook.

I am grateful for a silly Facebook video of a daddy acting silly and his quadruplets laughing.  Laughing feels good!

I am grateful that some very compassionate young people I work with are getting into health professions schools.  I am grateful for a home and food and a car and a job and the freedom to say what I want to say and delete statements full of hate (at least on Facebook!)

I am grateful for a chance to see old pictures of my family as I take on the task (with my brother and his wife) to get mom’s house ready for the estate sale.  I am grateful there is an end in sight (if not that close) to getting past the “things” stage of dealing with the loss of my mom.

I am grateful for a beautiful day for Explore SDSU.  I am grateful for a goof-off evening of writing and Facebooking and not getting all my work done.  I am grateful I still have tomorrow.

I am grateful for a quiet evening before the fun craziness tomorrow at Explore SDSU. (So I will get to bed early!)
