Saturday Morning Gratitude

Today I am Grateful and Thankful:


  • To have a loving God of my understanding in my heart
  • To be awake and alert on a Saturday morning (slight chocolate cake hangover, LOL)
  • For my loving husband and the life and home we have together
  •  The kritters, my sweet doggy and kitty
  • A job that pays me very well so I can clear my desk of all bills today and still have enough to buy food and shop a little too! ( I forgot what that is like)
  • The women of AA
  • "K" who has four months today, she is a blessing to me
  • The 12 steps and this awesome journey
  • Being able to see and feel God's grace 
  • To be right where I am at this moment today
  • This wonderful November weather we are having..... I am going to enjoy it right now!

hey there :)

beautiful photo..

The best scholar is the one who realises the meaning of non-self
The best practitioner is one who has tamed their own mind
The best quality is a great desire to benefit others
The best instruction is to always watch the mind
The best remedy is to know that nothing has any inherent reality
The best way of life is one that does not fit with worldly ways
The best accomplishment is a steady lessening of negative emotions
The best sign is a steady decrease of desires
The best generosity is non-attachment
The best discipline is a peaceful mind
The best patience is to take the lowest place
The best diligence is to give up activities
The best concentration is to not alter the mind
The best wisdom is not to grasp at anything at all

Atisha – 982 – 1054 ce
The Indian scholar from the university of Vikramashila who spent the last ten years of his life in Tibet, where his teachings emphasized the basic practices of taking refuge and training the mind in love & compassion.
