An Attitude of Gratitude

I learned this from Yoga Journal (BTW I love Yoga Journal):

“Cultivating gratitude is less an act of creating something that isn’t there and more of a practice of realizing what is. It’s about reminding yourself of the miracles embedded in every second of every day—from the largest blessings to the smallest moments. By practicing shifting your attention to what is real (and not clinging to an idea of what you think should happen), you become more appreciative of even the most mundane moments in life, and for the richness all around.”

 

Air Hunger

I learned a new term, dyspnea, which means shortness of breath.  Even the spell-checker here doesn’t know it!

I am fortunate and grateful to be managing a project that is intended to improve the quality of life for lung cancer patients, and this is a symptom to manage.

If you try sometime…

I have learned that:

“You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometime, you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need”                           Mick Jagger/Keith Richards

What have you found?

Deserving

From Kathy M/W:
“Here is a lesson I recently learned that you are welcome to use on your Blog. Sometimes the most deserving people do win the contest!
For two months I have faithfully been signing up for a chance to win the HGTV Green home Sweepstakes 2010 Plymouth, Ma green home. Why not! I would love to be back in New England. I figured I would work out the financial picture after I won. Right? I lost, but that’s ok because Sandra Gilson and her husband Kermit won. Yes, Kermit won the Green house! In the words of a blogger, ” It’s not easy being green…wait, it just got easier! Actually, they are a nice retired couple from western NY, and garden extensively. Go Green!”
