Yet today, despite a miserable cold, my mood lifted, and I'm more hopeful!

I'm so grateful my dad is alive and, for now, stable; and that my daughter is so healthy and happy.

I love practicing piano with her, and I find her such an inspiration.

I'm grateful Dad has transferred to a sub-acute rehabilitation facility. I'm grateful also that I like its look and feel. These factors help nourish my need for contribution to the wellbeing of those whom I hold dear.

I'm grateful for Aliana's eagerness yesterday to visit her grandpa with me. This helped nourish both my needs for quality time with loved ones (such as when she and I walked the grounds of the facility where my dad has relocated, and when we visited Dad) and for the opportunity to enjoy the vital enthusiasm of another (in this case, Aliana).

I'm grateful that I did spinal stretches and head weighting this morning. This helped support my needs for physical flexibility and upright posture. I'm grateful for this moment's sunlight, cool temperature, fresh air and for the ambience and murmur of insects and birds chirping. All this helps me enjoy and experience an invigorating environment.

I'm grateful that I chose to meditate this morning, which helped contribute to my needs for a quiet mind and inner peace.

I'm grateful for the work I completed yesterday on the Fitness Sanctuary. This helped support my need for progress with my fitness in the form of my strategy to reestablish our home gym equipment.

I'm grateful for my recent journaling efforts, which have helped meet my needs for clarity, inner peace and progress. I'm grateful for Cherita's efforts last evening to install the shower curtains, reestablish order in the living room, help Aliana rapidly get clean, and for her work for Axel Designs graphics, printing and web design customers.
