I celebrate that I can breathe. I can breathe much needed oxygen into my lungs effortlessly. I celebrate my vision and my hearing. . I can hear music, my cats purring, and the voices of those I love. I can see the faces of loved ones, watch my cats luxuriate in the sun, and see the natural world of trees, plants, animals, water and the sky all around. And there is so much more. Thank you God for the goodness within me and all around me. I celebrate these miracles today.
Giving thanks for this day full of beauty in nature, for a deeply touching gift of a lecture which was spoken from the heart of the very kind and compassionate teacher to the hearts of the ones present; for so many completely unexpected small and some heartfelt deep moments of “aha”, for the very kind togetherness without words with dear friends. I did not expect this at all, in fact it touches me to tears. Thank you from my heart for this day, these days full of warmth, beauty and insight.
I am thankful to have better focus and attention today. Finding the motivation to be very productive through 2 more days of work and truly enjoy a 4 day weekend with a very cleaned off to do list.
The sun is out, shining big & bright after a few days of hiding behind heavy overcast skies.
And warmer temperatures today. Yay…
It has been very chilly in my “neck of the woods” as of late, so I am so thankful for warmer temperatures.
I am celebrating the quiet miracles of sunshine & higher temperatures today!!! 🙏🏻✨
I am looking forward to a long walk today.
Happy Wednesday All… 🕊️♥️
I’ll celebrate the quiet miracle of waking up to another day. I’ll celebrate it by quietly noticing it, giving a quiet thanks, and not letting this pass without acknowledging the miraculousness of this moment.
What a great day to practice GRATITUDE.
Quiet miracles? I could fill this entire page but here are the top
My breath and beating heart – my body that works without me having to orchestrate its function
Hot and cold drinkable water from a tap in my home!!!! This is an oft overlooked luxury
My children formed by my body into living individuals who did not previously exist >fed from my body , needing nothing else for many months of life >their small perfect bodies that grew to gigantic men who are double my size!
The sun rise – its travels and its setting to rise on the other side of this delicate yet sturdy planet
Kindness of complete strangers (like right here on this site)
The higher power at work even in the lives of those who dont believe.
I could continue all day – i might do this quietly in my mind 😉
The miracle of the resilience of my cute succulent plants! Winter is coming here in MN, and having some greenery from them brings joy and a wonderful sense of aliveness to my room. 🌿
I woke up again 🙂 This came up at the end of the class I taught yesterday morning – this sweet student of mine said that she is grateful every time she wakes up. I love that. I love that I get to share yoga with so many beautiful people. That is a miracle as well. Thank you 🙏🏼
About 20 years ago, I first learned about Br. David and “gratefulness” vs. “gratitude.” Long before the TED Talk, I heard him on a local college radio station discussing gratefulness for water. He skillfully elucidated how deeply fortunate we are to access water through a faucet. Furthermore, this water wasn’t going to blind, or worse, kill us. Today I celebrate the 24 oz. mason jar of hot water for my morning ritual. I celebrate the electricty in my tea kettle. I celebrate the ease with which I am beginning the day. I also celebrate the miracle of my mother’s doctor, she listens and cares. I celebrate that she gave me very necessary referrals and the first one is coming to asses my mother this morning.
My heart purifying faster than anticipated based on my answers and responses to other people over the last week to 10 days is a quiet miracle I can celebrate right now.

That I’m here, breathing, looking at purple flowers, enjoying a cup of coffee.
Reconstructed and peace filled relationship with one of my an older brothers. Grace of time. Gentle Wednesday thoughts to all ☮️
Glad to hear you could reconstruct your relationship and that time helped. I hope for the same with my brother, eventually.

My Ngoc, I know you love winter: temps below zero.

The experience of compassion I find here daily.
It’s always amazing

Sending love to you, Avril. You do so much.
Best of luck to you and your mother with those referrals, Avril. And so glad to hear your mother has a caring, good doctor.
The inner intelligence of the universe, coursing through every cell of my vessel, doing that beautiful dance that I know as life. Peace & Love.
I love this answer, Joseph. Peace and love to you.

I celebrate with you, Loc.
