Gratitude

Today was a pretty good day. I've been listening to the podcast of Pauly Shore on Sound Cloud and it is entertaining to me. It would be R for language and content, (for your information), but something about that guy just lightens my mood. He is funny and honest-- really honest, and not holding anything back. Have you seen his old stuff? Encino Man and Son in Law are on Netflix right now. There doesn't seem to be much of his old MTV stuff floating around. One subject that comes up periodically in his Rants is the idea of being happy for what you have at the moment. Looking at the glass half full and being grateful you are alive. I especially appreciate those thoughts as the pop up.

My gratitude can be up and down. I'm aware how up and down my spirit has been the last couple months. I have found myself so low on gratitude some days I'm mourning life, walking around like nothing matters and who cares. What a waste of living. I have this great life, I should be grateful for it, and do something: Sit in the sun, throw rocks in the lake, chase the dog, laugh with the kids, share sugary treats with the neighbors, etc. Just the fact that I can do all of those things is amazing.
