The Magic June 22

June 22

Count your blessings. Make a list of ten blessings. Write why you’re grateful. Reread your list, and at the end of each blessing say thank you, thank you, thank you, and feel as grateful for that blessing as you can.

I am truly blessed to have the 21 Day Fix,

because I grew up not knowing how to eat. I have tried many things. Sane things. Crazy things. Over many years. And given up too. But lately have been eating more – normally. Without a program or meetings… And loving it. Wanted to bump it up a step. And here it is! I am happy with this and blessed to have found it!

Thank you thank you than you!

I am so happy and grateful for my ability to do the exercise even though modified and in 2 halves,

because I caught it in time!

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am truly grateful for the things I have going for me NOW!

Because there is a whole list of them! Like: I am taking French lessons, and will have a bit more time in summer for homework. I can get house repairs that are needed, done. I can take piano lessons and practice a bit each day. I am doing a day of work, for a little money. I am going to a week long course. A colleague I like is also going. It should be fun. I have the 21 Day Fix (as many cycles as I want). J. is open. MA and I are such close friends. M too. And maybe St even. Aide will help me in room this coming week (I will pay her) so I will meet my deadline. I have birds and can give them attention every day. I can go to beaches. I can walk in parks. I can breathe. I can read. So much!

Thank you thank you thank you!

With all my heart, thank you for today.

Because I will go to the bird store and get them some more pellets and seeds. And I will do laundry. And I will exercise (in am). And I will straighten. I might even treat myself to a massage! And I will do some French! Ahhh. MIGHT see J. Don’t know.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am truly blessed to have just seen this, from a lovely woman’s site _____

Because I need it and it is true. It expresses where I am getting right now! Yay!

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so happy and grateful for her,

because she is a beautiful soul. Also composes music and sings beautifully! And needs big major metal crutches to walk, but I didn’t always know that. It adds to her beauty, that this does not define her but is kind of an incidental. Went through a lot as a teen with surgeries etc. A public fb page. Anna Taylor.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am truly grateful for having just bought new sheets!

Because I need them. And they are cheerful colors! And – 85% off!

Thank you thank you thank you!

With all my heart, thank you for my ability to cook, and my kitchen,

because today I shall get a few things ready for the week! Setting up a good successful week for myself!

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so incredibly fortunate and lucky and grateful for jigsawplanet.org,

because in between things, it does help me relax.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so incredibly fortunate and lucky and grateful for my washer and dryer, my dishwasher, my kitchen sink, my bathroom,

because all of these make my life so much easier.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you thank you thank you!

2. Remember The magic by counting the blessings of yesterday and writing them down. Ask yourself the question: What are the good things that happened yesterday? Scan the surface of yesterday until you feel satisfied that you’ve remembered and written down all the blessings of the day.
