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.

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.
1.
That I got my
mother to the hospital
2.
That the result
was the best it could be: physical therapy and sometimes pills and she didn’t
have to be admitted.
3.
I helped my friend
whose beloved animal companion died.
4.
The Reiki I gave
for her even benefited me, wow.
5.
I told off a
priest. I know – that sounds horrible – but he was obnoxious – on fb – and got
worse, and I spoke up for myself and ll Buddhists and all people who are
open-minded and NOT pompous asses who think we know everything and pontificate
to others! It was good for me to not give up and to respond. It was good for me
to be strong. It was good for me to block; I have no desire to engage in a
long-term debate with this person, or for him to be part of my life at all. And
I don’t CARE. Ad that is good for me, I think!
6.
I got through the
day. Hard day. Hard weekend. The 3 young-people deaths about which I heard in
my former family, on Sat. The somewhat funky M and MA times. The slight sinking
Sat am even before the hearing of the deaths. The mother-emergency yesterday.
The talks with j. The friend’s pet dying in the middle of my priest issue no
less. The nightmares last night. And yet, I did get through it all AND well AND
--- there was much more good than not good!!!!!!!
7.
Brought to
hospital: cell phone, iPad, Nook, and laptop. For me, D, Ma, in case we were
there a long time. And D did use my laptop. Good.
8.
Showed mother pics
of her ---- great-great niece! “Cause she doesn’t have internet at home but
hospital did. In past, I have moved them to my desktop to show her. Yesterday I
was able to do a bit more for her. And show her cousin too. Nice!
9.
She is not in the
pain like before. Phew!! Thankful!
10.
I offered the
prayer and Reiki for my friend as she wanted me to, but thought it would be
VERY hard. But it was actually nice anyway!
11.
And I even wrote a
poem for the dear pet.
12.
Although I had
some funky dreams, they were interesting.
13.
And I did sleep.
14.
M called first
thing this am.
15.
I am even glad
that she woke me. ‘Cause I would have overslept terribly. And I don’t need
that.
16.
I SO did not want
to go to hospital yesterday! This may sound terrible but I felt selfish and
didn’t want to be bothered. But I did do the right thing (of course). And I am
so grateful for this.
17.
Tire light on but
I made it phew. Didn’t get stuck with mother!
18.
Had great veggie
and fruit blast in Nutribullet!
Thank you thank you thank you!
