A Little Rock; A Little Roll

I don’t know what I’m grateful for tonight… I’m kind of grateful for everything! I’ve recently come across some science studies on gratitude. Gratitude. It’s good medicine. Facts. As a part of our blog, my brother and I, whom I’m also grateful for, usually post a song – or some video – to accompany our…

I am here

“Lamb”, said the Lion, “I am here.” For some reason my title just put that sentence into my head. It comes from a book that was read to me one time as a child. I believe the premise was that the lion was wanting to eat the lamb but the lamb was always able to…

A Quiet Place

…you ought to have a place that you can come and know that you can be quiet. Nikki Giovanni There is a lot of trust in an individual, and myself, when I am with them in relaxed silence… it is as though we both are confident – we have faith – in this shared moment,…

Navigating Life

Yesterday was a whirlwind! Several opportunities that I have been working on and waiting on all happened at once! This has created some work for me and if it all moves forward, don’t know why it won’t, there are some busy times ahead of me. I am looking forward to it. The wonderful thing about…

Practice

Grateful Rest

This past weekend was spent with my younger sister and her husband at their house. I really am surprised that they allowed the visit. They were having the entire exterior of their house painted. It was a very relaxing visit for me. I had some work that I had to do and I was able…

A brief glimpse of consciousness

I believe everyone has experienced a time when they had extreme discomfort about something, fear, nightmarish even. And yet they persevered through the fear; despite the fear. And the fear proved to be a false pretense of the outcome. One was better off and grateful for having ignored the warnings and following through. One might…

People I can communicate with

Tonight, I am very grateful for the people in my life I can communicate with. If I am feeling down, angry, happy, confused… I can communicate it all with them. They listen, and speak to me. Communication. I am grateful for all the people in my life that I communicate with. It helps me with…

Summer Heat

As a heat wave sweeps across the western states, I am pretty grateful for air conditioning in the car, swimming pools and the ocean. I am also grateful that I like to wake up earlier in the morning; when the heat reaches it’s peak I have accomplished most everything that needs to be accomplished for…

And then…

I am grateful that I have been honored this life to be a father. I’m grateful for my son being a part of my life… I’m grateful he’s turning 19 tomorrow – and I’m around to be with him… I’m grateful for the whole day tomorrow with him and his family; my family.
