Why exactly do I sit down everyday and write out my little thoughts and share them? Do I always want to? No...I am tired, my back hurts, and I am sure that anything I have to say has little value to anyone including myself, but.... But this is what I agreed to do every day. Every day beginning on January 16, 2017 until the end of that year - 365 days. I did it. Then again on Jan 20, 2025, 8 years later because this is my small way of contributing daily to the positive energy in the universe. Energy and matter cannot be destroyed but they can be used for more positive and negative ends. A lot of people are in the grip of fear right now. I see it with my students, I see it with my clients, and I see it within my own family. We've been here before: Jan 2017 and its aftermath, March 2020 with COVID, and again we are all whiplashed with the stream of political change and afraid.
I just learned I have one hip that has holes in the bone like Swiss cheese. Yes osteoporosis - porous bones.
If I want to be able to keep walking into my eighties, I have to start now with daily exercise, weight resistance, and medication. Every day a little bit or maybe a lot. If we are to survive this current regime, we must do a little bit every day (or a lot) to support human rights, truthfulness, and hope in each other.
I know there are probably other ways I could be helping and I'm sorting that out but this, this little exercise of OGT - its my way of remembering that I'm still walking on this earth and to be grateful and to remind others to be also.
It takes patience and persistence sometimes to feel gratitude and with the daily assaults on the radio these days its very hard to remember. But I believe you can. It's in there even if it's just that you're still breathing despite every other pain.
What are you grateful for today?
