Just in from sitting outside. I decided in the cold dark of January that I would sit outside on all the nice days and practice gratefulness and thankfulness. For the most part I have done so. There were only a handful of days in the 90’s and no 100’s this year so it was pretty nice. I know most books and gurus suggest mornings but I’m not a morning person and like my afternoons in the sun. Some days I had to wait for the shade to come first but in Minnesota mostly the days are nice in the afternoon. Plus noons are usually sunny too. I’d enjoy winter morn if the days didn’t get so short. But in the afternoon on sunny days there’s the sun. I’m planning on going out in nice winter days too. I’ll have to dress warm but just being out for a few minutes will let me be grateful. I need that it helped me be more balanced. Maybe one day I’ll get the ambition to dig in the boxes and find out my yoga dvd and hook up the dvd!

At any rate today was glorious. I am grateful
