Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful.

• the town I live in and the people in it – friendly, warm and outgoing
• hot running water
• that we have Employment Insurance, health care, welfare, government run pension plans and other social safety nets for our citizens here in Canada
• that God created me with a sense of humour
• having more than I require of everything that I need

Your daily meditation for this Saturday, September 27, 2008:

“There is always something to be grateful for. If I write down all the things that I am grateful for I find I can’t stop. In the end I just say, “I am grateful for everything.””

1. Laundry is right across the hall, it’s free and no one is using it this morning
2. My mum lives across the hall, wow, it’s good to be close to her.
3. My sweet little kitty, Frosty, who sat on me this morning to wake me up. She is amusing me right now, sitting in front of the window, but hiding behind the air conditioner, stalking the unsuspecting birds in the birch tree out front, tail lashing and making that ack ack ack noise.
4. It’s a gorgeous, sunny autumn day.
5. I have enough fabric on hand to complete this month’s block for quilters guild.

• yoga class with an awesome teacher
• blue sky, warm breezes, sunshine, melting snow
