The new sorrows, because they give me tike to feel this pure sensation of grief, I am human, I am able to pass through the hard times, with hard emotions like grief.
The new mysteries about myself, because they give me a lot of Aha moments,Insights.

Thanks God for giving me a mouth and a tongue, eyes, nose, ears.

I love when I listen to people’s sounds, and recognize them, I love when I listen to my family, dad, mom, aunt, uncle, and tell my self in a second ‘ oh, I love that sound, I love that person, and here I am listening, talking to him’. Seriously, God, how did you do it!!!.
I love when I go back in time and remember my sound when I was young, then in my adulthood, then now. You gave me all those details to surprise me?!.

I love when I remember the sounds I used to listen to every day in my childhood right before going to school when dad used to put the radio on in a particular frequency, to get a particular station, and here it is the same song every day,and I procrastinate to get up, and he comes closer to say my name and wake me up, I still hear it.
Were you planning to bake every magical thing in my memory like this!.

I love how my  grandmother used to say my name, this serenity, peace in her voice when she encourages me to eat one more spoon. I love how she used to look to me, smiling with  this look which says ‘ I love you you tiny creature’, even when I grow up, she didn’t have a different look. I love when she always carry the duty to give me something each time she sees me. Every time she has to get up go to her room, and bring me something to eat, and I still remember the unique type of things she used to give.
Later on my life, after she passed away, I used to buy those things and keep from them  always at home.
Were you planning to give all those people, this love, to spread it away in a ‘look’ or a’ smile’ or a ‘touch ‘?
What is this? Where does your love came from?
Who am I to be so gentle, generous with me like this?

I love when you give me music to listen, and all my senses begin to listen, my heart as well.
I love when you make me feel things I haven’t felt before. Is that what was going in your mind ‘ let me give you another people’s work to be blessed with!, to have fun with!, to think about the magic in this world! to imagine things you never imagined!’.
Seriously, God, how did you do it!!!

I also love when you give my eyes things to see,
I love when I see something from a far distance. I love when I look at the sun, wow, how big is that!, and it gives us all the same warmth and light.
I love when I look to the moon and realize it is an art work, for free, not for sale. I also realize I can spend as long as I want looking at it and smiling when thinking how beautiful it is, a white thing, lighting, a blue thing. So simple, yet so miraculous.

Guess who made the sun? Guess who? It is you.
The celebration of life, the celebration of miracles is  the celebration of you, God you are amazing!. You gave me love, you reach out to me with love, and I will be love.

I love when I look to things and be able to tell what is this. Hey, I can differentiate objects from each others, I can tell the difference between each color. Ohhhh colors! Is it me or just no body knows where on earth would someone think of making things with different colors, not to mention how it is connected to the nature of the things. I understand that you didn’t make any bad thing, but hey what about the devil?.
Yes, you made and you know it, but now when I think about it, it seems hilarious to compare devil and good, from quantity, quality, everything. I think good things in life are more than bad things, but bad things happen, OK I got it, and I thank you for both of them. Actually I prefer to thank you for both, because I don’t like blame, and hatred to be in our relationship, and, of course, you are gentle enough to give  me another, clue, lesson, insight?!. I know you are.

Grateful for committing to do some hard work during the last two months, because, it confirms that hard work really pays off, and this is a great mindset.

Grateful for humor in my day, and in my life . Grateful for humor in real  conversations between me and coworkers. Grateful for humor with friends over phone. Grateful for humor with my parents. Grateful for humor in  chats with friends, which, when happens spontaneously and from the heart I.e not just putting emoticons, has a marvelous effect in boosting my mood, making me laugh or smile just like that . Grateful for the sense of  humor I share  with my grandfather when we met at the weekends, because he has this unique, old, yet amazingly charming,  and sense of humor, and communicating by that  way is an amazing, blesseful thing to happen.
Grateful for humor with strangers, like funny comments with the cashier, or bus driver. Also, daily life encounters, like funny comments from strangers, that you hear and makes you laugh or smile.
Grateful for humor on TV series, and the creativity it has been baked with.
Grateful for my dad’s sense of humor,  he  makes me laugh by how simple he is, even some times I anticipate the joke, but wanna hear it from him so we  laugh together , this is a  remarkable sensation, to be comfortable taking with someone. Grateful for him being a good listener as well, means he inot judgmental, and he knows that there things I can only learn through doing , so he is not a teacher that teaches by adding more , but by listening to more..

Grateful for deciding to share the love with everyone. Grateful for sharing love with coworkers through making the effort to make bonds this kind of interconnection more meaningful . Grateful for sharing love with my parents through being there for them , or at least trying to.
. Grateful for Sharing love with friends. Grateful for for sharing love with myself through my endeavors to know myself, and became MY self not other one’s self or the role I am supposed to play in another person’s life . Grateful for sharing love with my time by using it for the best I can do with it, keeping myself away from instant gratification behaviors, coping mechanisms, which allows me to get more aligned with my goals, undistracted by my ego . Grateful for sharing love with my body through having  adequate sleep, and exercise, nutrition . Grateful for sharing love with my mind through nurturing it with valuable knowledge, and use this knowledge to reflect on myself.

Being my own superhero makes me feel proud of  my myself on the context of how tiny, small I am and my endeavors, and how unique, whole I feel inside , so I am grateful for being small, for growing, for being wise, for being irrational, for being humble and for listening to my egoistic delusions sometimes. Grateful for the journey I took to realise that I am my superhero.

Grateful for the gift of health. In retrospect, I can  reflect on my physical abilities 5 years ago  and feel grateful for what I am doing, what I have been through. Grateful for the process, any process that puts me in a struggle, because it definitely, eventually helps me grow.

Grateful that I can persevere. Persevering lead me to believe that I can. Changing my beliefs is a hard process that starts only when I try to understand, change them through perseverance.

Grateful that the more I focus my mind upon the good, the more good comes to my life.
The more I focus on my heath, the more good habits come to my life.
The more I focus on my learning, the more good lessons I learn, not from books, courses, resources only, but from God’s plan to teach me.
The more I focus on good relationships, the more meaningful relationships comes to my life.
The more I focus in being honest, loving person who listens to his ego and shush it sometimes, go with it to the end other times , the more mature I became, and  the more  present, peacful I feel.

Grateful that everything in my life is okay. Grateful for my job, my senses, my body, my soul. Grateful for my friends, my quality time with them. Grateful for my workouts. Grateful for my meals. Grateful for my shoes. Grateful for my socks. Grateful for the invention of underwear :))
Grateful for my arms, my legs. Grateful for my organs.

Grateful for health, consciousness, eyesight, the ability to move, my senses, as things I take for granted.

Grateful for the Fridays I had rest in, and for the ones I was doing chores, both give me satisfaction at the end of the day.

Grateful for the moment when I take the first sip of my coffee, then I take a bite from my oats omlette, smelling the coxunut oil, and cinnamon. It is like eating in a museum, seeing paintings, and hearing,, from a distance, a slow piano music.

Grateful for the moment when I woke up, and when I go to sleep, as I always remember that I gotta live today in the morning while taking some deep breaths , and that I lived today, and I am looking for tomorrow at the evening.
