    Daily Gratitude

    by

    Daily Gratitude: I have so much difficulty making this trip. It’s not only the longest for me but it’s also the hardest.

    The strange thing is that there are so many life connections in that 16 inches. Some of us work very hard to put up roadblocks and others work to create effective road blocks. It’s like trying to make it over a mountain pass with avalanches every step of the way.

    The brain is all powerful and it seems to rule everything and in many ways it does. But in order to be so mighty, it has to receive oxygen and nutrients. And how does it do that? Via the heart. Perhaps we could spend some time reminding the haughty brain that it would just be a pile of mush if the heart isn’t working right or isn’t doing its job.

    It’s like life. We need each other to be the most effective and efficient people. Taking baby steps to allow these two primary organs to communicate and love one another is crucial to healthy living. One way to look at it and help you visualize the connection developing is to think of the spinal cord and all the nerves that come off of it connecting the brain to the rest of the body, including the heart. So there is an open path. I used to sneak up and down the back stairs (did anyone else have back stairs?). That got me from my room to the kitchen and that’s exactly where I wanted to go.

    See if you can visualize a young child (or maybe just yourself) scrambling up and down those back stairs (the spinal cord) bringing secret messages from one organ to the other. Make the visualization a game. Once enough secret messages have been delivered, each organ can come out of hiding and greet each other like armies or spies can do when the war is over. And now they understand each other better because they have all the messages n

    Work on this a little bit every day and see if you can create a truce, an armistice between your thoughts and your emotions. You’ll be glad you did.

    “Darkness invites us to slow down, turn inward, and reflect on what’s gone well while we prepare the seeds for what we’d like to grow in the coming year.”

    Although I know nothing about numerology apparently 2025 also marks the close of a nine-year cycle, bringing together themes of completion, letting go, spiritual growth, and transformation.

    In your life Some chapters have ended through loss or separation.

    We’re intentionally wrapping up others by shedding what’s no longer needed so we can prepare for 2026 when a new chapter begins.

    Sunday is the winter solstice
    It’s a great time to honor what’s coming to a close.

    Why not take small pockets of screen-free, distraction-free time this week.

    As you sit, walk, or move in stillness (or boredom), let insights surface without forcing them into being.

    Jot down what comes to you.

    Reflect on these questions:


    • What was life like in 2017? That’s the 9 year phase I talked about earlier. If you don’t want to use 9 years why not pick 2019 – pre pandemic.

    • What did you want to accomplish or change?

    • How have you grown in those areas?

    • What from this chapter of your life has come to completion?

    • How has that completion come about?

    • What lessons have you learned?

    • What achievements do you want to celebrate?

    • What feels clearer now?

    Once you’ve had time to look back, turn your attention to the present:


    • What areas of your life seem to need attention or growth? Creativity? Family? Finances? Physical health? Something else?

    • What would you like to begin or accomplish between now and the spring equinox on March 20, 2026? This may or may not be related to any 2025 goals

    • Who will you need to be to bring these intentions to life?

    • Who will you need to bring on board for this to happen?

    • What will you need to do to make that happen?

    • How committed are you to this one thing?

    • What might possibly interfere with accomplishing this.

    You can and should use these types of questions when attempting to measure anything in terms of growth.

    “Whatever you’re meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible.”
    DORIS LESSING

    This is kind of funny if you think about it. The conditions really always are impossible….or you wouldn’t even be thinking about it. You’d have already done whatever it is you’re trying to rationalize away.

    Don’t wait til you lose weight to start interacting with others more. Don’t wait until you’re rich before you have fun. Don’t wait for anything.

    Find a way to do what you want to do now.

    Figure out what you’re meant to do, even if it’s just what you’re meant to do TODAY and not for the rest of the world.

    We all listen to Dr Gilbert and we know that it’s not just what you want, but it’s what you REALLY want that matters. Once you know that, then you have begun your life’s purpose process. (I did that alliteration intentionally)

    But what if you haven’t figured that out yet? Should you just hang out and not do anything?

    Should you pray for the “right conditions”? Do you even know what the right conditions are? I’ve given you examples of how I or someone else thought they knew the plan, the way to get from point A to B, thinking they had plotted the shortest route. Only to be “fooled” by the universe and taken to point B via points D, R, M and T on the way. What the heck?

    Thats what this quote means when it says the conditions are always impossible.

    If you do something NOW, you have a better chance of finding out what you’re meant to do. Everything in life and I mean everything is comprised of baby steps, including what you think your ultimate purpose is. You may be surprised to find out later that getting to point B was not what you were meant to do at all. It was something else. While you’re doing something, the other pieces will fall into place.

    Con you be someone else’s Thomas Edison?

    Maybe you’re meant to have coffee with someone who’s lonely or had a recent loss.

    That’s not curing cancer for the world but it’s being Thomas Edison in that person’s life. You brought light into their life. And with that light came hope.

    What are you meant to do today and who are you going to be Thomas Edison for today?
