And, three hours of drumming--awesome! One of these days I really hope I get up the nerve, willpower, courage, whatever and take some drumming lessons like I've secretly wanted to for years. Taiko drumming in particular enthralls me.

Grateful for a beautiful afternoon walk in the woods connecting with the plants and trees who are amazing teachers and have so much to share if I just slow down and listen.
Grateful to find I am surrounded by an amazing plant that is also an incredible herbal medicine for fibromyalgia which I can make into medicine to use. Amazing that I've been surrounded by this plant for years.
Grateful to be truly realizing that I am finally accepting myself in deeper ways, particularly that I always need to/have to follow my own path, my own conscience, my own heart and dictates and soul. I have always *had* to do this and it used to always terrify me. Now I am really knowing and beginning to truly accept that this IS how and who I am and that this is actually a really, really good thing that has saved and shaped my life over and over again.
Grateful I got through some of my fears to connect more deeply with housesit canine and feline who are both elder beings. Having lost my two older kitties in the last few years, its brought up a lot of fears being with them. So I have been making the effort to just relax and love them and let them know they are loved--and what a difference this makes.

Grateful for a blossoming friendship with a yoga/AA/Unity friend. I may even suggest that we do some singing/playing music together soon.
And grateful for an amazingly awesome gorgeous spring day with trees and flowers blooming all over the place.
Love and hugs,

At the risk of sounding " prideful".. ...I am proud of, and very grateful for, my students that KILLED it at piano competition today . They worked so hard and did so well. I am beyond grateful for my job. It's such a labor of love. Kids and music.....what could be better?

Yes, you've hit my intention of that post spot on. That is exactly what I meant, and something that I thought about a lot today. We really do get what we give in every respect, or so I believe. Hope you have a peaceful evening.
Grateful for a cozy, soft bed, to drift away on.
Grateful that I have exciting plans for tomorrow.
Grateful for the way that everything seems to be making better sense to me.

Grateful my migraine has finally calmed down. Two pressure systems meeting in the atmosphere of the earth also met in my poor noggin!
Grateful I got to pay my neighbor/friends the final payment for my firewood today! They've been totally patient and it was/is just so awesome to be able to pay them. Deeply Grateful for the Community Assistance which helped me to do so.
Grateful I met up with that same friend while he was out walking and joined him for a nice walk. Helped clear my head and was so nice to visit with him.
Grateful there's supposed to be an Aurora Borealis visible in the lower latitudes tonight--I'm hoping I"ll get to see it.
Grateful for my dear friend lending me her Carol Burnett show dvd's so I can laugh myself silly.
Grateful I went to bed around 2 a.m. last night which for me is very early, especially lately. And grateful I was able to get up at a decent hour (for me) for once. Yay!!
Have a goodnight all!
