I’ve decided to make this post a Big, Permanent, & Ongoing part of HoneyIShrunkTheGrief.  Why?
.
Because . . .
-Being grateful is life-changing.
-Being grateful is only a thought away.
-Giving thanks is an act of giving, and I feel good whenever I give.
-I feel deeply connected to the world, therefore it feels most appropriate for me to share my thoughts of thanks with you/with the world.

You can find my first submission below. I will be back to leave additional messages whenever I’m feeling grateful, or whenever I’m feeling low (thinking about all the goodness in my life always lifts my spirits, so I would like to get into the habit of returning to this post often).
.
If you’d like to leave your own message of thanks in the comment section below, please feel free to use my format, or whatever format feels best to you.
.
Or if you’d prefer to just read the collection of responses that are left over time, that’s great too. I’m grateful for You, and for your interest in giving thanks, and you’re welcome to share in this in whatever way you’d like.

Dear World,

Thank You for giving me this place to share life and express myself. Connectedness is the oxygen of my soul.
Thank You for surrounding me with loving people. “You complete me”.
Thank You for the double rainbow I saw with my son David on Sunday. Rainbows take my breath away and fill me with hope. And I learned something really cool too…David told me that his teacher taught him that whenever there is a 2nd rainbow, the colors in the 2nd one are reversed…and it was true, they were! Fascinating!
Thank You for the excitement that comes with knowing that I’ll always be a student.
Thank You for the misty rain that covered me on my bike ride this morning. I felt like I was riding through a cloud!…and it felt like the world was baptizing me! Renewing!
Thank You to welovegratitude.com for being a large part of the inspiration for this post. Such a beautiful site…overflowing with love.
Thank You for the Fall season. It reminds me of all the glory within Change. It reminds me that life involves constant change. It reminds me to welcome change; to seek out its beauty — its new and nourishing perspective is everywhere. All I have to do is open my eyes…look…and feel.
Thank You for the courage to love. Love makes me wonderfully vulnerable…and opens the doors and windows of my heart…and allows the soft and warm breeze of life to freely pass through…while whisking away the daily muck that I accumulate that clouds my vision. Long live love!
Thank You for imagination. It all starts with a spark of imagination (and then throw in some creativity, and let the party begin!). I imagine this first post as a seed, that grows and grows…and becomes massive…and stands tall and proud like a big Redwood tree!…and provides shelter, direction, and nourishment.
Thank You for the courage and bravery needed to take a chance…to explore…to try new things…while following the songs of my heart. Who knows what’s behind any door? Only one way to find out :)
.
Forever Grateful,
Eric

Meaning Of Life (part2)

I believe we are each flawless, perfect miracles.  It’s probably fair to say that we all need a little dusting off from time to time to fully appreciate the beauty that is us…but underneath any life debris that we each may have collected, I believe is perfection. This is a given to me.

So the question becomes, where does all the interference come from?
If we’re each perfect, why isn’t there more harmony in the world?

I posted some thoughts the other day about The Meaning of Life…and a new thought just occurred to me. Is there anything in life that has the power to hold us back and keep us from shining, other than ourselves?

So maybe The Meaning of Life simply involves becoming masters of our thoughts (specifically, loving thoughts)?

Seems to me that those who have become proficient at having loving thoughts experience the greatest of this life’s riches:  peace/harmony/balance/joy/fulfillment/love/flow/happiness.

Wow, maybe I just discovered the Meaning of Life?!!

If I was on the game show Jeopardy right now, and Alex asked me what my big final round response would be to:
THE PURSUIT OF MASTERING ONE’S OWN THOUGHTS…

I would answer “WHAT IS, THE MEANING OF LIFE?

I wonder if I would win?

Tough question, but I’m having fun thinking about it.
Hope you too are having fun and kicking butt in your game of life!
