Daily Gratitude – Day 2358

Today I Am grateful for having the most wonderful, fun-filled Father’s Day I ever had with my boys…

For starters, I Am grateful for that we were all perfectly fine with our plans of going to breakfast at IHOP being thwarted as none of us wanted to wait 20 minutes for a table and opting to simply hit McDonald’s instead so we could get on with our day sooner.

I Am grateful as well for not being able to find parking at the Staten Island Ferry lot… and finding free on-the-street parking close by instead.

I Am grateful further for my first-ever excursion to Governors Island, learning about the island’s history, spending time lounging and napping in a hammock, climbing “The Hill,” watching the boys enjoy themselves in a playground and riding around in a pedal surrey. Freaking blast of a lifetime.

I Am also grateful for having dinner at our all-time favorite restaurant, Lun-Wah in Roselle.

I Am grateful as well for discovering that my credit card limit was unexpectedly tripled, which will make handling some expenses easier – and for having the good sense to know not to go to crazy with it.

I Am grateful further for my sister Lorelei, who celebrates her birthday today. She came into my life as an acquaintance, and through the twists of fate became family. And while our family continued to make unexpected twists and turns, the bonds we share have only grown stronger with time. I love you, sis!

Finally I Am grateful for my own dad, who always took time out of his busy schedule to make sure I had the best childhood I could, always involved with my participation in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, teaching me about the world, science and nature, helping me with my algebra homework, providing us with fun opportunities of our own that we will always cherish… not to mention his brilliant sense of humor, his advice on how to handle the more difficult aspects of life, and always supporting our pursuit of happiness. This just scratches the surface of all this man did for me and my siblings. I love you, Dad!!!

I Am grateful for NOW, the only moment there is, metaphysically speaking, knowing everything I could possibly want is in existence NOW and is in my grasp NOW. In respect to this physical plane in which we use “clock time” to measure the Eternal Now, I Am looking forward to an amazing tomorrow, filled with love and joy, prosperity and abundance, creation and completion, new possibilities and new realities. I anticipate ending the day in complete satisfaction, knowing that only good comes to me, always. It is going to be the best day of my life, and I Am grateful for tomorrow today!

And So It Is.

Namaste,
Brian

Daily Gratitude – Day 2357

Today I Am grateful for getting to sleep in for a change, and yet not too late, and waking up feeling quite rested.

I Am also grateful for David helping me cook our traditional Saturday Morning Big Breakfast.

I Am grateful as well for not having to rush out of the house now that soccer season is over.

I Am grateful further for binge watching a few episodes of Stranger Things.

I Am also grateful for a wonderful evening with my sister and her family as we celebrated my niece and nephew’s birthdays, and watching the cousins enjoy their time together.

Finally I Am grateful for getting to bed early.

Good night, y’all!

I Am grateful for NOW, the only moment there is, metaphysically speaking, knowing everything I could possibly want is in existence NOW and is in my grasp NOW.

Daily Gratitude – Day 2356

Today I Am grateful for waking up in exactly enough time to get the boys and I ready to leave after once again sleeping through my alarm.

I Am also grateful for being able to perform some random acts of kindness, such as tipping my gas attendant, paying for the guy in front of me at Wawa after his card wasn’t working as he was trying to buy his coffee, holding doors open for people, letting a driver pass in front of me and some friendly conversations with strangers. (I’m not listing all of this to brag – I’m listing this to remind me how great it felt to generate such good.)

I Am grateful as well for getting to watch Jacob’s outstanding performance of “Baba O’Riley” at his school’s talent show.

I Am grateful further for being invited to help plan my 30th high school reunion.

I Am also grateful for the fact that I get to work outdoors on such an amazingly gorgeous spring day like this.

Finally I Am grateful for getting to watch David’s soccer tournament, which ended in a Sudden Death Shootout, during which David scored one of the last goals, helping his team win his match.

I Am grateful for NOW, the only moment there is, metaphysically speaking, knowing everything I could possibly want is in existence NOW and is in my grasp NOW. In respect to this physical plane in which we use “clock time” to measure the Eternal Now, I Am looking forward to an amazing tomorrow, filled with love and joy, prosperity and abundance, creation and completion, new possibilities and new realities.

Daily Gratitude – Day 2355

Today I Am grateful for getting a phone call this morning which woke me up just in time to get ready for work after sleeping through my alarm.

I Am also grateful for the fact that Five Below allows the exchange of any phone charger after they stop working.

I Am grateful as well for the heavy rain this morning which stopped before I started working.

I Am grateful further for a good talk with one of my managers who cleared up some facts for me around an issue which came up for me a few times today and gave me some other fantastic advice.

I Am also grateful for being able to break some challenging news to the boys in a most delicate way possible.

Finally I Am grateful for the fact that I tend to fall asleep early on Thursdays when I have the boys over after a busy week in which I tend to keep late hours.

I Am grateful for NOW, the only moment there is, metaphysically speaking, knowing everything I could possibly want is in existence NOW and is in my grasp NOW. In respect to this physical plane in which we use “clock time” to measure the Eternal Now, I Am looking forward to an amazing tomorrow, filled with love and joy, prosperity and abundance, creation and completion, new possibilities and new realities.

Daily Gratitude – Day 2354

Today I Am grateful for once again starting my day with a prayer treatment session with my friend – and treating for her as well – in preparation for her panels… and for establishing an official prayer partnership.

I Am also grateful for a second helping of prayer support from another friend from the Practitioner class. Can’t have enough people praying for me!

I Am grateful as well for things at work beginning to fall into place – technologically, procedurally and logistically – as this new division continues to evolve from scratch.

I Am grateful further for running into the mother of some old friends as I worked in her neighborhood.

I Am also grateful for hearing from a friend from my old office who reached out to me from out of the blue.

Finally I Am grateful for the very inspirational podcasts and audiobooks I get to listen to, all of to which I listened today had a profound impact on my way of thinking about the future…. and the present.

I Am grateful for NOW, the only moment there is, metaphysically speaking, knowing everything I could possibly want is in existence NOW and is in my grasp NOW.

Daily Gratitude – Day 2353

Today I Am grateful for having a follow-up prayer session with my friend from yesterday, as well as being able to give her some coaching as she prepares to have her panel interview on Saturday.

I Am also grateful for having the time to run some important errands before work this morning.

I Am grateful as well for stopping into a Chase bank, and while they could not help me with the deposit I wanted to make (a new-fangled branch that does not have tellers), the banker realized that my replacement debit card was never ordered, and he ended up ordering me a Disney-themed card (with BB-8 on it!) which will give me cash back on any Disney-related purchase. (I wonder if that includes movie tickets…?)

I Am grateful further for the fraudulent charges that were made on my old debit card finally being credited back to me, allowing me to make my child support payment.

I Am also grateful for the acknowledgment and recognition for the stellar day I had on Friday, and for getting to share my thoughts on my success – and how it all had to do with my mindset and belief in what was possible.

Finally I Am grateful for spending some quality time with my coworkers, sharing some personal and professional topics, completely enhancing each other personally and professionally.

I Am grateful for NOW, the only moment there is, metaphysically speaking, knowing everything I could possibly want is in existence NOW and is in my grasp NOW.

I Am grateful as well for a change in my plans for the day, which allowed for me to get a great deal of work done at home.

I Am grateful further for the deals I have been finding on various apps that I have been using for dinner lately.

I Am also grateful for getting to attend David’s Second Grade Authors Celebration. His work was quite outstanding!

I Am grateful as well for being reminded of some rather important purposes I have in this life.

I Am grateful further for a diligent second day of work with my new position… and tying an all-time record in our division!

I Am also grateful for being able to catch a series of fraudulent charges on my debit card, have my bank credit me for them, and have other means to access the money I needed as my debit card has been deactivated.
