The Magic May 25

May 25

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 my piano,

because  I can always go to it.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so happy and grateful for the French language in my life,

because it is music to my ears and my soul.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am truly grateful for MA

because we love each other, we know each other, we accept each other. And she tells me how much she values me.

Thank you thank you thank you!

With all my heart, thank you for my heart beating every day,

because I am very fortunate to have that! I remember 2 x when they thought I had problems with my heart. And I don’t!

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am truly blessed to have easy breath,

because it keeps me going physically and I remember when I didn’t!

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so happy and grateful for this current hope,

because I want it with all my heart.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am truly grateful for  the fact that I have shelter,

because my life would be so different without this blessing.

Thank you thank you thank you.

With all my heart, thank you for my friendship with A,

because he reminds me of some things like how to abide and is there for me (and I for him).

Thank you thank you thank you

I am so incredibly fortunate and lucky and grateful for my ability for new starts,

because I have an extraordinary level of it and it helps a lot.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so incredibly fortunate and lucky and grateful for how quickly my body and spirit respond to meditation,

because it only takes a few breaths, and I literally feel it in my body! It is like magic for sure or is magic.

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.
