Who can I be today that my future self will be grateful for?







Having someone else believe in you is amazing. Having faith and believing in yourself is priceless. I am so grateful today for the last 3 seasons of my life, and the journey that I have taken on over the last 10 years. I love myself more deeply than ever, I know and am aware of my strengths, my faith, and my ability to work with the creative power of the universe rather than against it. I have transformed my body from cancer, blood sugar, high pretension, and excess body weight. I have transformed my mind in the way I think about myself, and what I tell myself. I have transformed my soul with a deep and abiding inner relationship through mediation, yoga, and self reflection. Today I am very grateful to who I am.  

Day 61: Coal, who can I be today that my future self will be grateful for? List 4 things I am grateful for about myself.

As we move into the last 30 days of this season in the Seasons of Change book, I am reminded that this daily work continues to transform my life. Yesterday my beloved and I moved 350 concrete pavers from our driveway up the hill to our new patio area. I am very grateful that the job is complete. Here is the real gratitude. Over the last 2 plus seasons of doing this work on a daily basis, and the contract I made with myself I have reduced my body weight by 70 pounds. I continue to maintain that through my renewed commitment to myself and this work. I realized as I walked up the hill with this extra weight that a year ago I was taking that and more on my body.

As I have stated many times most of my life my A type personality has served me in many ways, and yet in others it led to a great deal of frustration, anger, and bitterness. The need and desire to control everything for me was based on the fact I had no control over myself. Through this work, meditation, reading, and going within I find that I am more in love with myself than ever before. Over the last few days, the plan that had been laid out was not the plan that actually happened. In the midst of it all, I found a deep and abiding calm. I realized that noting that was happening to the plan was life treating and as a matter of fact it gave me more one on one time with my beloved.

Today I get up each day, I give thanks to everything in life, and I do this work. I know that my today self thanks my older self for choosing to do this work 3 seasons ago. The transformation in my life is beyond anything I could have dreamed of at that moment. Thought doing this work on a daily basis the accumulative effect has added up to the most joyous life I could hope to have.

4 things I am grateful for about myself.
My ability to see the good in all things.
My ability to do the same thing over and over until it transfrom my life.
My ability to love others where they are.
My ability to forgive myself and love myself more deeply each day.

I love you
