Grateful today for - Clean bill of health after yesterday's fall - DH, who went out of his way to pick me up from work yesterday so I wouldn't have to negotiate the subway, bus, and walking with my head and body banged up - Good walk today before the heat

Today I am grateful for having accomplished the list of "life's little irritations" yesterday. Today will be a great day because I won't have to think about what didn't get done yesterday!!
Also, EXTREMELY grateful that the results of my niece's MRI (she had a brain tumor removed 14 months ago) came back as "stable"; she tells me that "stable" is Doctor-talk for "remission!"

Today I am grateful for
every little thing that getting healthy makes easier - I notice I don't get half as exhausted as I used to - bending over to paint toe nails or tie shoes isn't uncomfortable - I am so much quicker to join in or offer help because EVERYTHING doesn't make me sweat and huff & puff anymore!

I am so grateful for my wonderful husband and all he does. In addition, I just returned from a farmer's market on a rainy day and am so grateful for organic produce that is "beyond organic."
I'm grateful for the dandelion greens that detox the liver, the cilantro that detoxes heavy metals, the kale that is a superfood for a reason and even the mustard greens I just tried for the first time today. I'm grateful for all that incredible super organic produce in the two tote bags (and also wondering how I will juice an entire fridge full of produce in five days!).
I'm grateful for the gorgeous roses and other flowers I saw with rain drops in the pedals, glistening on the bushes. What a wondrous sight!
I'm grateful for rainy days that nourish the universe and give me an excuse to stay in--and use my red umbrella when I go out.
I'm grateful that my left knee is healing well from an injury and I can do more than I could a few weeks ago.

Today I am so grateful to be down to the lowest weight in 7 years. I feel lighter in every way and can definitely say that meditation and mindfulness were a big part of the breakthrough.
I took a long walk on a beautiful day to celebrate and am so grateful for the fresh organic dinosaur kale about to go into my juicer. And I'm grateful for farmer's markets, too!
In addition, I am so grateful to my wonderful husband and all the wonderful moments in life.

I am grateful for finding out about juicing, specifically green juicing, from the documentary, "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." Going on a green juice fast was the first thing that really worked for me. I lost nearly 14 pounds in 12 days, and I am now down to the lowest weight in five years. It gives me hope, and I feel so much better.
I'm grateful for meditation and EFT tapping, too. Because being on a juice fast means I can't hide behind the food. I don't just detox toxins. I also detox all kinds of emotional baggage, etc.,too. This morning's meditation really helped me to see what was going on in a different way.
I'm grateful for the birds that sing in the night. Here in the city, it is amazingly calming for me to hear that.
I'm grateful for my husband's wonderful support of my efforts and the trips he planned to keep me going as I travel this path.

I believe in myself, I am a strong woman. I will reach my goals, NOTHING & NOBODY will hold me down. I will live my life with integrity and intention. I will set a good example for my daughters and my son. I will be a woman that makes my grand daughter proud when she looks at pictures of me long after I've left this earth.

Grateful today for
- Busy time at work, so I feel like I'm accomplishing something - Passing a Maronite Catholic church and seminary while taking a new walking route at lunch. I grew up Roman Catholic, but had never heard of the Maronites, so I Googled them and learned something. - DH at training this week, so I have a little time for myself, though I don't like when he's gone so long.

I continue to be grateful for this beautiful weather - For rediscovering my favorite Hatha Yoga DVD I feel so lovely when I'm done - For an exciting weekend ahead (cake tasting & registering) - For finding my soul mate

On this Thursday morning, I continue to be blessed and am grateful for - heavy with lots of moisture soon to disappear - a ride to work, chauffeured by duh and the pups - lunch with my teamed - a ride home stopping for Chinese - no meetings and chats with colleagues
