“It might be a good idea if the various countries of the world would occasionally swap history books, just to see what other people are doing
with the same set of facts.”

The Gratitude Pool
Who would have thought a full night’s sleep would rate so high on the Richter scale of things most cherished?
Not getting up once to have to pee or rub analgesics on or take a pain pill; wow!
Feeling comfortable in any sleep position without body parts grouching or complaining or keeping zzz’s away until you black out from sheer fatigue: double wow!
Talk about your natural highs; without cliff hanging in any way whatsoever!
And this comes my way after a day of intense spine and neck pain to the point of nausea, after a morning acupuncture session, afternoon grocery shopping and forgetting to eat all day.
I am the most surprised woman on the planet and happily so.
I thank the Angels, Master Healers of the Universe, ancestors and loved ones crossed over and God for any and all help in giving me this most luxurious gift…a full night’s restfull-and I do mean full-sleep.
How sweet it is to stretch in the morning with ease; to feel the softness of sheets and the comfort of bed and pillow; to love my body’s elasticity.
What awe to find that the clock announces 9:30AM instead of 3, 4, 5 and 6AM after gettinginto bed at midnight.
I am so thankful that shift happens!

"What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him (*or her) up on the phone whenever you felt like it."

The Gratitude Pool
I’m grateful today for the tiniest bit of ease.
A breath of cool air in the middle of a non breathable, hot day; the moistness of water as it slakes the dryness of one’s throat; the softness of cotton on the skin; a bit of food to delight the tongue and stem the stomach’s rumblings; the ability to move one’s limbs; a smile; a kind word; rest in safe harbor at the end of the day…all are precious moments of noticing good, like patches of Silver Swords on the slopes of a volcano.
There is enough pain, frustration, disappointment and discomfort pounding down around us in the workplace, home responsibilities, interactions and expectations to cause a giant “Arrgghh!” to rise Heavenward.
They don’t call it the daily grind for nothin’.
