Every day, during my time here in the Community, during my pray, my meditation time, I think about grateful living. I try do practice it in my thoughts, words and actions. In my relations in my family, job and others. I believe, to be lasting, I need to nourish daily.
In special, today, I realized how gratefulness enrich my life, in a deep experience.

My husband and I decided eat lunch in a restaurant. Normally we prepare our food at home, spend the time talking and playing with Scot. But today we decided to go in a restaurant. We found a very nice place. The table was in the out side the restaurant, under a tree, big shadow. The weather perfect, sun, some clouds and the wind… how wonderful is the wind! Touching my skin in a friendly way, like a warm hug. The food was delicious. And I thougth; Oh my God, this moment is perfect. Thank you!
After lunch, we were coming home, when a car in high speed crossed in front of us. Just one second, my husband shouted and I stopped the car. Nothing happened, the other car continous his way. We didn’t collided. But it was for very, very little.
Of course I was scared, terror, but at the same time, I felt peace and I can felt grateful for my life, my husband’s life, and the other driver’s life.
I was able to understand, things like that happens all the time. Unfortunately, here, people drink and drive. But I was able to understand and feel, the practice grateful living in my life. In a few minutes before, I was present in the moment, enjoying the food, the weather. I don’t have control about the events, but I can try to control my feelings. And the feeling I felt after this event, showed me how important is count my blessings! When I arrived at home, the first thing I did, I kneel and giving thanks for coming home safely.
Loving wishes to you! Wishes of fraternal love and peace.
It’s night and in this moment it’s raining. Light rain, nice noise to hear on the roof. A few thunders in the distance… In the radio the music is perfect to dance, with the body, the mind and the heart. I’m grateful for this perfect day that is ending, for the comfortable bed, the lunch, the dinner, the shower. I played with my dog, Scot. Everything is perfect.
Very adorable 8 day practice. Just to reflect about it, blessings, I noticed myself smiling. Think about blessings is powerful! Overflows the heart in fraternal love. “Let the gratefulness overflow into blessing all around you.” Like a river, flowing to the sea…
I would continuous do the same I doing now. I believe in the learning, new chances in every moment. And we’re not promised tomorrow.
Giving thanks for a very nice experience I participated yesterday. I danced with some ladies, yoga dance!
Flowing my emotions, moving my body according to the indian song. It was magical and fun! I really had fun!
When I notice the violence, hungry children, loneliness… I ask myself, How is it possible open my heart? Some days it is so hard! My heart has scars and some are not healed. I don’t want compare, for example, I’m grateful because I live in a safe place and I have food and others don’t. Or living alienated, ignoring the life around me. Every single day is a special and unique, in order to learn about open my heart. I believe it mean live with faith tha...
When I notice the violence, hungry children, loneliness… I ask myself, How is it possible open my heart? Some days it is so hard! My heart has scars and some are not healed. I don’t want compare, for example, I’m grateful because I live in a safe place and I have food and others don’t. Or living alienated, ignoring the life around me. Every single day is a special and unique, in order to learn about open my heart. I believe it mean live with faith that everything is perfect, respecting the destiny of each person. I really feel that sometimes I can’t, but it’s necessary. Because when I don’t share love, fraternal love, I get sick. The open heart giving love and compassion is my medicine.
I would like to share with you, dear grateful friends, the last orchid of this season (planted in my garden). Now, I’m going to wait six months in order to see the new flowers.
I love to wait, look for and find new flowers buds! The time of the nature, that teach me to be patiente, nurture hope and to keep the faith in the flow of life.
Blessings with fraternal love.

Nancy I know a Word Rocks Project (by Carol in San Diego), and I have been painting rocks too! A lovely project!
Hello Aine! I used the coconut substrate, bark of very small trees between in the roots and I sprinkle a little fertilizer in the foliage 2x a month. As a ground orchid needs even moist soil and good light but avoid direct sunlight, the Nun’s Cap Orchid will get along with a somewhat less humid atmosphere.
Hi Nancy!!! Your orchid is so beautiful!!! I used the coconut substrate, bark of very small trees between in the roots and I sprinkle a little fertilizer in the foliage 2x a month.
