I am grateful for a naturopath that I like. Even though she has yet to be able to help me, she is working with me and my body to find the right answers -- not one-size fits all formulas. And while it is sometimes hard to be grateful for a body as sensitive as mine, I do appreciate all my body does for me and goes through in the process.

Would you rather . . .

. . . spend decades living the good life with great homes, fancy food, maids and butlers, new cars, etc. only to spend your final years in prison with virtually nothing? Or would you rather live a very modest life with no extravagances for your entire life?

The answer is easy for me. The modest life. First, I think giving up the high-life would be way too hard. The contrast of going from having everything to having nothing would be nearly impossible for me to adjust to.

Second, I am not really a person who craves a lot of extravagance in my life. Yes, a good meal once-in-a-while is nice but I don't want it every day. I get satisfaction from doing my own dishes. And I get really attached to my car! Ha!

Finally, I tend to keep my life on a fairly even keel all of the time. I don't enjoy the rollercoaster rides of life.

I am so thankful for the wonderful day I spend yesterday on a pontoon on a lake with friends and my hubby. It was a lovely day and really quite peaceful. Saw some pretty birds, jumping fish and very few insects! We had good food too. We can't afford a boat but are grateful we have friends who can.

I am grateful for sleep. I have said it before but when you have had trouble sleeping in the past, every good night's sleep now is a little gift. And I have been dreaming a lot lately which I think is a good thing as I am processing things and taking soul journeys. And waking up with kitties waiting to snuggle in bed is pure heaven!

I am grateful that I was able to give back just a little today with a pro bono project that should help many non-profits. Even though I am not done with it yet, I have taken large steps forwards.

Heat. I am grateful for heat! We had such a cool, rainy spring and it made my body ache -- literally. The heat has finally arrived and I feel so much better. Yeah, the heat can be draining and you feel sweaty all the time. But I will take that over feeling like I have the flu any day! Summer has arrived!

Thank you for this beautiful day spent boating with friends on their pontoon, relaxing and reading by our pool and watching TV with my husband tonight. It was a great day in all ways.
