gratitude

i have't made an entry here for quite some time. finally closed my other blog and in time, will be moving enties related to bushi-do over to zaadz.

that aside, i practiced being in awareness and in presence today (as subscribed by the enneagram). it has allowed me to experience gratitude, an expansive benevolence. miracles always, always happen. sometimes, i just refuse to see 'em.

i used to write down entries in a gratitude journal and have not done so lately. sometimes, i forget how blessed i really am. here's 5 of 'em today:

1. having a hot shower in the morning
2. being able to wear shoes for the first time after my foot operation
3. being with my girlfriend (always like christmas morning)
4. watching the documentary 'the 11th hour' in the movie house and seeing that this can be man's finest hour
5. seeing the fireworks outside the mall after the movie (i felt like a kid again)
