Just feeling so grateful.. I mean ALL the time. Im a weird happy smiling whacky ole gal walking around in joy. I have to FORCE myself NOT to start skipping sometimes (Unless Im in OB, or at Barefoot Dance in Encinitas. .. Then i skip to my hearts content) There is so much good stuff I see and feel. SO much to appreciate. This is NOT without my reality suit on too, though. Indeed. Life has such hard edges. So many things going on with our friends, or in our own lives that are challenging. Our job is to acknowledge it.. process it, change it if we can or accept it if we cant. But not let it change our viewfinder. NOT easy. We have to look for the lesson in it, Look for the ways were going to have to dig deep, and rise to the occasion to get through it. Whether its financial, or relationship issues,, or a dear friends tough health news, or our own, or processing the atrocities going on in the world around us. We still have to seek light. like those tiny flowers that pop up through a crack in a rock or through asphalt; they are determined to find the sun. I was reading the Troubadour today, at Cosmos, sipping on an Ice coffee, after taking a bichin butt kicking -inexpensive dance class, right down the street a block from my house, I ran into Aaron Bowen and had fast exchange with him talking about some tres cool stuff. I then sat down and read Peter Bollands article in the Troub about his mom, his childhood, I felt so much love in that article it moved me to tears. As a mom myself, i just loved his words --his story. .. ANYWAY.. that was just a two hour period of my day and I was bombarded by all this GRATITUDE for each of those things, this happens all day long. oy. IM so grateful for my health, for friends, for family for living in La Mesa, for Liz Abbott and Kent keeping the Troub going, For Peters articles, for Musicians like Arron and ALLLLL the wonderful creative people in cities and towns the world and all friends I have made, and the many more to meet! My gratitude viewfinder is alway switched on, Has been since 2001, and i seriously get hyper overloaded at times .. and have to breathe and calm myself. :) But just know that whenever im talking to you or writing you, Im looking, or thinking about you, as these incredible flowers in life. I see you each doing your best to seek the sun too. And Im so grateful for you and the realm around me.
