Tonight, My Heart Was Sung To ........................ 4/20/12


A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it
 to me when my memory fails.  ~Donna Roberts
      Good  morning,
I just got in from spending the night with friends. I'm thankful for how it worked out. Here are my gratitudes for yesterday, Thursday:
1. I slept in.  Ya ay!  I'm thankful for resting my body.  However, I mistreated my body by
not eating any meal until late tonight, while visiting with a friend. I was a bad kitty.
2. I enjoyed time with two clients. The challenges of relating with a human being and their struggles is always fulfilling.
3. I exercised.  I rode 14 miles in 45 minutes.  I took it easy today because I've been riding a lot, lately.  I wish I could have ridden longer but appointments and tonight's event prevented that.
My Heart Was Sung to Tonight
     Fourthly,  my time with friends this evening. I love the honesty, authenticity and vulnerability shared by everyone, as we talked. Several sang the song in my heart to me.
      Connecting with others and experiencing community meets my need for safety and expression.
5. Spending time with someone after the gathering, while eating dinner was even better.  Great conversations are fun, and so it was. This person does the same work, which made for a rich time of connection.
      This individual is intelligent, spiritual, Latin, pleasant, and honest, in a kind, courteous way.  The time shared was a pleasant way to end my day. We're planning to go bike riding soon.

     For the guests who drop by, I love your comments, they've been coming in. However, what are your gratitudes?  I'd love hearing three of yours. (I don't want us to forget the vision of this inn.)
     Would it be possible to share the joy that's emanating from your heart?

Keith,

You are a lucky guy! Wow. You must be happy to have a best friend who has known you for your entire life.

You have the attitude of gratitude spirit. I'm grateful for your enthusiasm and your example today. Thanks for making my day with your three gratitudes.

I wish your mom a fantastic birthday. She must be a wonderful person. Did you get some of your optimism from her?
