The blessings of life

There is no way to describe how grateful I am for my life. Every day I am thankful for my practice, my daughters, my Jim, my job, my good health, and my friends. I am continually amazed how everything I need comes to me. I am going to get a big tax refund, even! And a rebate! And social security! Wow.

I have been doing some artwork lately which I realize is a reflection of my mind in some way.
Hard to describe. But there is lots of sparkle and detail in it, reflecting the richness of the way I am experiencing my life. At least in that arena, I have let go of "being good", and just have allowed myself to be.

I keep trying to surrender every day the old ideas I had about myself, and to try to be open to what is happening right now. This advice comes from Babaji, and he has always helped me to go in the right direction. He told me a long time ago that your guru will lead you through some dark places. I have felt it.

I wonder what is coming next?
Stay tuned!
