The Magic Aug 13

Aug 13

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.

Yesterday,

1.      I bought my first ever vegan artichoke__

2.      I did my mother’s shopping

3.      And mine

4.      I felt all better after 2 days of being ill

5.      I cooked!

6.      It was delicious!

7.      I had a killer upper body workout and did it all!__

8.      I loved driving around

9.      Felt better within blocks of being out in car!

10.   Did NOT rush back to tv or computer (A)

11.   Felt – mindful while cooking with no tv or noise on

12.   Liked it

13.   There ha been a mouse in my kitchen I found droppings : (  this has happened maybe 3 times in 30 years. But – I didn’t panic. I cleaned and moved on

14.   At bedtime I felt relieved

15.   Had had a near accident slippery road! But got control of car back

16.   And had been quite nervous when heard the rest about Robin Williams. But said to self: You are on way to buy healthy foods, and you were nervous about near-accident: PROOF that you want to live! I am so grateful for that

17.   I looked pretty in my outfit

18.   And my face looked pretty too

19.   GREAT talk with M

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 good books__

Because I enjoy and I learn and they enhance my life.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so happy and grateful for integrity

Because I can make my little piece of the world a better place. And I  feel better about myself because of my integrity

Thank you thank you thank you!

Because artichokes have been my favorite food since age 3 and now I have an organic one!

Will steam it with a crumbled toasted slice of Ezekial and measured oil and lots of garlic powder. Yum!

Because it spreads. It helps.
