Life can feel very lousy, overwhelming, sad and unfair.

In these times I am reminded to think about the things that are good and well. . .things to be thankful and grateful for, even if it's seemingly few.

I invite everyone to make a list of 1 to 5 things that are good, positive, or grateful for.

Here is mine:

There are wonderful, loving people in my life.

Change. It often feels horrible, but I always feel worse with very little change. Being too "comfortable" often results in more ritualistic behaviors, OSD and fear. I purposely mix up smaller things in my life because of this.

Custom earplugs, Proloquo2go, trampolines, jellyfishcompression clothing, Body Podsstimming, visual reminders, and other helpers: These are all things that make my life. . . livable.



Whenever I make a list like this, I usually put it up somewhere in my home, until it has been up so long that it becomes part of the background (forgetting about it) . . . then I am reminded again that there are good things in life, things to be grateful for, and the cycle continues :-)

1. people who are passionate positive and organized (you being one)
2. Food that i know is safe ( right from the earth! grown with love and devotion)
3. natural sensations (natural light, river rocks and water, walking barefoot on the beach or in the grass, tree climbing. wet moss, hugs, petting animals.
3. animals!
4. live music, whether it is people or the birds working together to create a voice.
5. hearing stories and and witnessing the multitude of talents and gifts, the abilities of the body to heal and of people to change their ways and grow into what they've dreamed.
