Getting dirty with it

Grateful for:

  1. Digging in the garden today weeding. Physical work, especially in the garden is not my forte to say the least but it is a great little challenge to commit myself to daily garden work to help my friend with her house and learn a thing or two about the land and myself in the process.
  2. Playing chase with the dog.
  3. Zenifying  my friend’s kitchen by almost entirely clearing out kitchen surfaces. Ahh, clear spaces and peaceful mind… thank God she did not mind it.
  4. Having a super zen space assigned to me as my living quarters. Nothing but a bed, chaise lounge chair, table, 2 chairs, my netbook and basket for cables and small stuff. Loving it. Oh yes, and big wall height windows and balcony overlooking the see of green and the ocean.
  5. Living in a beautiful place surrounded by nature and water, so very much like my ideal life image it is uncanny in its resemblance.
  6. I love rolling hills with cows dotting them like in a Swiss postcard.
  7. Getting a  Portuguese phone number and unlocking my T-Mobile Droid to work with any mobile provider in any country. Awesomeness.
  8. Committing to no less than 10 gratitude entries for each day which forces me to recall the day and find things to be grateful for.
  9. Getting some nice free clothes from my friend.
  10. Cutting up some fancy travel brochures that yielded lots of inspiring vision scrapbook images.
  11. Being there for another person.
  12. I love how great of a listener I am.
