After resisting it for a little while, I finally started a gratitude journal this year. A whole slew of spiritual teachers I respect recommend this practice (Christine Kane, Sarah Ban Breathnach, Oprah...). It's been a pleasure to make a list of five things at the end of each day that I really appreciated. Somehow the Big Scary Things seem less Big and Scary when my attention is tuned into simple pleasures. Like the "warm and delicious bread slathered with honey and butter" that I enjoyed on January 18.
What favorite staples can be found in your fridge?

Gratitude Journal Day 20
So i met a professional clown today form New Jersey. She has been a professional clown for 13 years....and not the kind that work children's parties on the weekends. Although she does work at parties, her career is to entertain terminally ill children who just need to buy a few extra memories, a few more smiles, a few more giggles!
She is sponsored by a company that makes kids wishes come true! I feel ashamed that I have not been using my talent lately in such a manner. in the past i mentored inner city young ladies from Los Angeles on weekends through the non-profit Hands of Change.....but life takes me in many directions as the family grows and i have not had the opportunity to reach out recently. The winter is coming and my son and i will be back working at the homeless shelter on Saturday mornings....but i dont feel its enough!
So how can 'one' balance reaching out and yet still keep some energy for one's self and one's family? I always feel the need to do MORE!
So this goes out HuggaMe, lovely lady, lovely clown! I HEART your work with those children and I HEART you for making it happen! I am so grateful for having met you today!
It goes without saying... I think... I hope... how incredibly greatful I am for THIS child. I have already realized how difficult a task it is to make a gratitude journal with just one entry a day and not getting carried away. When you can give gratitude freely and easily, one thing leads to another. :p Bear with me while I do my best.
Day 2: My husband, myself, and our daughter enjoy the blessing of good health. We are healthy for the most part, most of the time. We work hard at it, we excercise, eat healthy, balanced whole foods, and try to focus our energy on the love and good fortune in our lives so as not to get too hung up on the stresses. Therefore, this child is generally on most days a healthy, happy ball of fresh energy. I love that and am so thankful for every second of it. However, on this day, she woke up just ever so slightly under the weather. A cough, a sniffle, a little run down. She wanted to lay on the couch and cuddle quietly. I am soooo greatful for this moment of rest we had!! It is not often that I get to calmly reflect back on quieter times from her younger days. And as she lay on the couch, in the beautiful light, I was able to remember when she was a baby, and when I could keep up with her. :) It was a lovely memory, and I am so greatful for that moment of rest and the memory that I could grasp due to it.
I give much gratitude for the moments of quiet, of rest, of time to reflect just briefly on the moments that traveled with us to the present.
i had to bullet point this list since i was so tired and ready to crash. really wanting to do my gratitude journal, i comprised with myself to do a list. it came out better than i expected.

Do you know how hard it was finding a gutter in my neighborhood? theres like 25 houses on my street alone and only one gutter. (WTF right?) anyways it was a BIG gutter and it was clean! the one across from it was dirty. ewww.
anyways, my mind is always in the gutter i just dont express it around certain people....(cough::parents, other people's parents, some co-workers, the priests etc..::cough)
anyways i had this idea since i sent Jonathan a flickrmail telling him i changed my username to Zee Anna! so that i can get a tribute... and his reply was...
"now you have to do me" (and you expect me to NOT think in the gutter)..... *sigh*
and alas! this idea was born.

You must like it and share it with your friends.
this edition of my gratitude journal is dedicated to the people in my life (or those no longer in it) who have helped me recognize different aspects of life.
I want to express gratitude for all the goodness, the blessings, the heart-filled moments in my life. I don't want to take for granted how full and lucky this lifetime is for me. So, today I begin my Gratitude Journal. A project I've wanted to start for a few months, I am now ready to commit. This will be a happy journey, I believe, and I hope that sharing it spreads some smiles and warm energy out into the world.
Day 1. I am so thankful for the feeling in my heart that allows me to feel such an abundance of gratitude, and the reasoning in my head that encourages me to share it.
Working on the first entry for my Gratitude Journal and time slipped away from me...this was actually taken at 8:19. But I love that it if anything distracted me, it was me reflecting upon my gratitude for my family and that I'm lucky enough to be a Mom!
One of the most haunting, complex, rich arias in all of opera: "Scherza infida" from Handel's "Ariodante". To say I'm 'grateful' to be able to sing this piece of music seems a tad 'trite', perhaps, but it is the unadulterated truth. As with most Handel arias, the range of interpretive possibilities seems endless, so one can employ countless colors, shades and meanings that change with each performance. Perhaps the opportunities are even greater with this particular collection of notes and words centered on Ariodante's learning that his love has seemingly betrayed him, for being the victim of such perfidy can morph into so many different colors: red hot anger, bitterness, despair, devastation, white-hot pain, black emptiness, the list goes on and on.
I marvel at how opera can freeze a moment in time (in this case, the freezing takes about 10 minutes!): often Handel is berated because "they keep repeating the same text over and over", but silly dismissers, this gives the opportunity for such rich exploration - the ten times I utter "infida" ("unfaithful one") in this aria can each carry a different weight - different percentages of venom, loss, rage and even love. The complexity of human emotion takes a long time to sort out, to sift through and to digest - yet another reason I love singing Handel.
Yep - gratitude abounds in this opera score!!

I'm definitely grateful for renting an apartment here that has a fully stocked kitchen, providing the chance to make fresh-squeezed orange juice -- a front-line defender against colds as the weather turns combative.
PS - Still at the start of this daily endeavor, I predict MANY entries will revolve around food. Call it an educated guess!
