Gratefulness
An ear to listen to the recent challenges of a coworker, which we both ended up laughing about
Just noticed that there is a pattern: more solitude and play time, doing things that appeal to me at that moment with no timelines/duties, leads to more optimism Also, good sleep —> more optimism More humor —> more optimism
A better capacity to see things as they are and be at peace with it (mostly :))
The last dream I remember recently and that I’ve had other times lately is being robbed, I wish I knew what it means but I guess it could be the belief that there is not enough
As in the first post today I also find this is a wonderful and heartwarming question, with wonderful answers too. It made me think of the chapter of a book I read about twelve years ago: “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff” by Richard Carlson. It spoke about seeing the innocence in people. The thought stayed with me since, and I still practice it some times, looking into people’s eyes.
To be less reactive
Such a good question to remember, as I find it difficult to make long term plans, the next right action feels more manageable and more “doable”, even if it means taking no action at all. As Glennon Doyle says, “doing the next right thing, one step at a time, will take you all the way home” At the moment, the next right action is to enjoy time on my own as my daughter is visiting her grand parents till tomorrow
I woke up at 2 in the morning and was a bit unsettled, then I read the interview on this site “Getting to Cleveland, a Gratutude Conversation with Seth Godin”, this question is timely as I was wanting to share how much I enjoyed this article, particularly when he talks about when we say thank you to get even.

It resonated because I often have trouble accepting a gift without feeling I need to give something back to the same person, whereas the gift could instead be passed on to others and become an infinite chain of grace. So, this and, as always, reading Martha Beck settled me into sleep again. Oh, and now the word of the day. Talking about freedom, this quote was liberating in itself. Thank you demo.gratefulness.org
Yes! 🙂
Me too
Same as KC, thank you Gina
Si, errar es humano, no debería darnos verguenza, pero entiendo, a mí me pasa igual, me da verguenza pedir o que me pidan perdón, cuando muchas veces es precisamente lo que necesitamos para conectarnos de nuevo y en paz con otras personas, especialmente los seres queridos. To make mistakes is human and we should not be ashamed, but I understand, I also feel shame about asking or being asked for forgiveness, when this is precisely what is needed some times to reconnect in peace with o...

Looking forward to seeing you again
Yes Antoinette, it is soo challenging !! But for me, having realised that I need to practice this for the sake of my daughter, is a huge step. Thank you for sharing this technique, I can already see how helpful it can be. I also try to remember that emotions are temporary, like the weather. So, cheers to keep trying and letting it RAIN ! ????
Dear Anna, I understand what you say, I find the older I get, the easier it’s getting to reach that place of acceptance and peace with myself, isn’t it wonderful? Love Palm
Appreciating this insight of how it feels taking the next “right action”, which resonates with me

Thanks for this honest post, I am ingesting too much coffee (with sugar) and taking for granted my teeth and liver (which went through hepititis). Need to find other ways to awaken 🙂
