Thank you, sun... Thank you, moon...

Thank you, sun,
Thank you, moon,
Thank you, pillow in my quiet room...

Joanna’s blog has a lovely post today about gratitude. When people ask me for help when they have lost their connection to spirit, I always tell them to bring it back to “Thank You,” even if you don’t have a clue who or what you are thanking. Give thanks for your lunch, your bed, that handy parking space. Soon gratefulness becomes a habit, and you can feel those thanks being received and magnified. Joanna encourages everyone to stop right now and ask, “What am I grateful for?” I accept her challenge! Today, I am grateful for:

• My independence, and being able to provide for myself
• The quiet of the forest in which I live
• The ocean just a few minutes away
• My wonderful nice welcoming serene caring friendly landlords, who help me feel safe and at home
• My sister priestesses and all the women in the Sisterhood of the Silver Branch
• My three birth-sisters and the rest of my family, who accept me as I am, the tie-dyed sheep
• My spiritual vocation, a calling to serve the Goddess, and the joy of devotion
• The pleasures of the senses: sweet French melons and sandalwood perfume and a cool bath on a hot day and Kate Rusby singing “The Sleepless Sailor” and the beauty of dance (as in “So You Think You Can…”)
• People who pursue their bliss with passion
• Friends and playmates, both near and far
• The health and happiness of my three cats
• Little surprises, like the cherry-sized fruits that suddenly appeared this week on the Mystery Tree in front of my house — not cherries, but tiny plums!
• Ice. Isn’t it great that we can have ICE whenever we want? Our food is fresh, our drinks are cold, and we take it so for granted most of the time. It’s a miracle.
• The ability to read, and the love of books
• A sense of humor
• All the twistings and turnings of the road that brought me here, and the unknown road ahead
• Faith

Thank you for the day I've had,
Thank you, heart, for feeling glad...
