I’ve only know the expression Carpe diem… Seize the day…. there’s more…. “Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future.”
That’s today for me in a nut shell. I want to really BE in every single moment today as much as possible….
Soooooo….. today I will seize the day … knowing that tomorrow is no guarantee but right here and now IS!
I know it’s a Wiki article but nonetheless… The idea of seize the day dates back to antiquity… and crosses religious boarders… check it out…. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpe_diem

1) For answers. I love when I get them…. and find the solutions… having answers brings on such relief and resolution
2) For learning how to be at peace during the “in between” ... when the answers haven’t presented themselves…. learning to appreciate the space of feeling in flux…. knowing that it is as valuable as having answers
3) That my favorite holiday is this week…. I love being in a space of gratitude and having an excuse to tell people how grateful I am to have them in my life
4) For little tiny hands… my nieces’ .... so sweet and cute and perfect
5) For my Mom…. for the first time ever in our lives finding more than just neutral ground…. actually finding real love… I think I may be more grateful for this than anything else in the world right now…. I never thought it possible… a blessing.
6) For the originator of “Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I’m grateful.” You don’t know how doing this on a daily basis has changed my life. For this I am very thankful!

1) For my hands so I can type, and touch my niece’s cute face, hold D’s hand, hold a coffee mug, draw pictures and play the guitar
2) For my eyes so I can see sunsets and sunrises, mountainous views, the way he looks back at me, the way their faces light up when I walk in a room and the suffering of others so I can learn compassion
3) For the natural food market in my town and DEan and Carolyn who devote their time to work there… that they provide my community and I with good wholesome oraganic food so I can thrive and exist and live as healthy an existence as possible.
4) For the people who challenge me to consciously be attentive to the needs of others…. who remind me that it is not always easy to stay present… who challenge me to be a better person when I get lost in my ego
5) For the ability to communicate through other means than the obvious… through actions, music, words, hugs and kisses…
