Just enough

I am grateful that I have just enough now, to keep me from drowning in my own shit.

Pick me up

The Power Ball Lottery has once again grown to over 1 billion dollars.  Think of all of the good a person can do with that type of money.  I don’t believe in just giving a lot of money away, people should have to work for it to appreciate it; I do believe in helping all…

Wings & Light

there is quite a bit i am grateful for this eve… i was pondering a bit, wondering what i’d be writing about after all, i spent a beautiful shared moment with my eldest — and i be grateful for all three i am grateful for the small, incremental signs of growth i see in my…

It is all in the head

Yesterday I had a moment to reflect on some future actions that I may take.  If I choose to do so, some people very close to me, whom I love very much, may choose not to talk with me or think that I am a bad person.  I reflected and realized that I am not…

Two steps nearer to my grave

I am grateful I feel my personal strength coming back. I think I gave it away a long time ago; and I have been careful in regaining it that I do not slip into the shadow elements of psyche that can seem like strength — but are short lived and tend to harm others. So,…

Hold On

On a daily basis I thank the lord for my health, food, shelter and the opportunities that is provided to me.  I also pray that I recognize the opportunities and take action on them.  That is the biggest part of any success, ACTION! I am grateful for the opportunities that the lord provides; I am…

Not Yet, Lord

I am grateful for my health tonight; it is coming back. I know one day I shall expire. Don’t know when. Don’t know how. But, man, this last week… really gave me some insight into the possibilities of what might be when I check out. It is wild how pain plays in the mind. It…

Binoculars

I can remember being at the beach house with the family and someone would see something out in the ocean, usually a whale or dolphins, and my mom would look through our binoculars to get a better view of whatever it was that we saw.  I currently own three pairs of binoculars.  They really do…

Live Large

I am very grateful for my faith in God.  Life happens and lessons are learned; my belief in the one God allows me to know that if I stay true to myself and to others, work to make this world a better place for all to live, that my life will move forward in a…

By The Pricking of My Thumb

I am grateful for the opportunity I current to have to direct some scenes. It is through a class, so, perhaps small in stature for a bucket-list item. However, the sense of responsibility, nerves, and giddy excitement is quite real. And I am grateful for the opportunity to start this experience within a context that…

Pass the salt

I am grateful for the ability to do and be whatever I want to do and be in this life.

A Cup A Empathy – and 2 T-Spoons Sugar

I am grateful for some solid footing today; made a little progress. You can ask my brother if you want details — all I’m going to share is sometimes the healing continues on long after the surgery. (smile) And ya know what? I’m happy right now… It’s been a good day; time to walk the…
