I'm floating down a river
Oars freed from their holes long ago
Lying face up on the floor of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow
I have had a wonderful day in my garden getting everything ready for winter and planting some beautiful shrubs for spring. I am deeply grateful for flowers and colour and to have the eyes to see it.
Smile from the Heart

Over the weekend I was taking my kids food shopping and while walking to the supermarket I spotted a chap similar age to me in a poor state on the floor begging for money. I walked pass him to a bakery a couple of shops away and got him a couple of drinks, a hot steak and kidney pie and a vegetarian baguet (just in case he was a vegetarian ). I gave the chap his food and a smile and in my mind wished him well. I did not care to think too much about how and why he got in the position he is in but felt it could really happen to any of us and so was very grateful for my position and sad for his and many like him.
As I walked away I thought about one of the story my mum had told me in the past of when she (5 feet tall woman) had to spend a few years pulling carts full of bricks for construction sites in the baking sun in Vietnam for a living to get food for us as there was no other work around. I also had a brief thought of all the many disabled people in the world. My thought then turned back to my own position and that of many around me and felt we really are very lucky and blessed that it is another day in paradise for most of us.
Thank you Martin for sharing that wonderful heartwarming story.

Today I am grateful for the continuous help of Guan Yin.

Martin, thank you for the story of your mother. It's good to be reminded of the blessings that we often forget.
Today I am grateful to have a wonderful little bread bakery near my house, and I'm thankful for all the creativity and care that the baker puts into making the bread.
I'm also grateful for the store clerk who always makes a little friendly conversation with me.
