Love, Learning, and Lying-In!

WOW, I just realized that I haven't Blogged here for a month! It's not that I haven't been being grateful about things, but haven't had the energy to keep up with all of my practices.

But I am renewing my commitment to Blog every day, so one of my three blogs will get attention most days now. I have had a very low energy month, as I've been eliminating foods that cause intolerance, etc. and looking for houses (both very draining things). Neither of those things has helped though, as I began to feel frustrations and a lack of control. I'm ready to move forward, realizing that I need to focus on the goals, not what I don't have (energy, a house, etc.).

Today these things are making me smile!

1. LOVE - I am so grateful for the Love that I do have, for the continuting support and kindness that my husband shows me (even when we've had a rough patch). I am so grateful for the time I get to spend with my wonderful son, Colin, who is four. Their love has taught me to love myself, and here is one tool I have used to grow my Gratitude (click on the blue word).

2. Learning - I am so happy and grateful that I am open to learning. I'm learning about myself in order to become a better me and a better human being. I am grateful that I am educated and that I love to read so I can grow and gather in the wisdom of the ages. Books are so full of wisdom!!! And as they say "Knowledge is Power."

3. "Lying In." - In the USA this is known as "Sleeping In." I had a "Lie-In" this morning, which I really needed. I've had some sort of cold and craved some extra sleep. My son woke up early but stayed quietly in bed watching a DVD and I got an extra hour! My son is a star, and I am a grateful Mum.
