Thursday’s Thoughts 1/17/2013

“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: – When did you stop dancing? – When did you stop singing? – When did you stop being enchanted by stories? – When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?” ~ Gabrielle Roth — Thanks for the quote Facebook user Brandon Waloff

This was posted on my Facebook wall and I just loved it so I thought I would share it here with you. I am not sure if the quote is accurate but I like what it is saying. It is a good way to lead off for today’s Thursday’s Thoughts.

The Niners won their playoff game Sunday so they are off to face Atlanta in the NFC Championship Game for the right to move on to the Superbowl! It was such an exciting game and Kapernick was terrific in the game. He silenced a lot of critics with his performance. I think our chances are really good to beat Atlanta and head to the Superbowl for a shot at our 6th Ring. So exciting!

I was out back during my lunch time the other day at work and a breeze came floating by. Over in the corner near the building there was some trash on the ground, little things like bits of paper towel, paper plates etc. The truth is I am not sure what the trash was just that it was there.

5 Things We Need To Know

This is another terrific post that was on my Facebook page. It was passed on from another terrific site called zenpresence.com

1. Your human life is impermanent.
Self explanatory. No matter what your spiritual beliefs, this life has limits. Cherish every moment.

2. Life has whatever meaning you give it.
So many people, myself included, waste so many years searching for a pre-packaged purpose to be placed at their feet. Save yourself some time. Create a purpose from your values and beliefs. Creating a list of principles, values, and beliefs is a good place to start.

3. You can ( and do) make a difference.
Everything you do ( or don’t do ) makes a difference. No man is an island. All of your choices affect everyone else in your life in one manner or another. Are you adding value?

My Daily Gratitude

Gratitude Picture

Gratitude is an emotion expressing appreciation for what one has—as opposed to, say, a consumer-oriented emphasis on what one wants or needs—and is currently receiving a great deal of attention as a facet of positive psychology. Gratitude is what gets poured into the glass to make it half full. Studies show that gratitude not only can be deliberately cultivated but can increase levels of well-being and happiness among those who do cultivate it. In addition, grateful thinking—and especially expression of it to others—is associated with increased levels of energy, optimism, and empathy. – Psychology Today

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately, or more precisely feeling a lot of this lately. I’m not sure I really knew what gratitude truly meant until I started awakening to Spirit. I was certainly thankful for things but pure gratitude is another thing. It is more powerful and is a true feeling deep in my soul.

Sometime after my rebirth I began ending each day talking to Spirit, Mother Earth, and the Universe. I just share whatever is on my mind and I always state how grateful I am to have lived another glorious day. This wasn’t planned. It just sort of happened.

Spirit Give Me Strength

I don’t know what is up with me today. I had a good weekend and a good day at work but driving home something just took hold of me. All of a sudden people were just getting on my nerves. I was yelling and cussing and just not feeling centered at all.

I was full of judgement.

I judged the people jaywalking across a very busy street less than 50 feet From the light and crosswalk.

I judged the people speeding who almost rear ended other cars and then almost sideswiped others When quickly changing lanes.

I judged the person who parked next to me at the store. They had backed in crooked leaving about 1 foot of space for me to enter my car.

I judged them all as Idiots.

Thursday’s Thoughts 1/10/2013

I am working on getting better at blogging and sharing my thoughts so I decided to just start doing it. I am starting Thursday’s Thoughts to just share my random thoughts of the previous week.

The 49ers play the Packers this Saturday night for the right to move on to the NFC Championship Game and then on to the Superbowl. It has been far too many years since the Niners have brought home a Superbowl Win and I am so excited about their chances this year. I for one stand behind Coach Harbaugh’s decision to keep Kap in the line up over Smith. I know Smith was having a terrific year, but he was still mainly a game manager and I really think we need more than that to win our 6th Superbowl. No matter what I am proud of the team and thrilled that we have had 2 great years in a row with more to come.

It is interesting how many Facebook Friends are posting spiritual things since I opened up to this new path. I’m not sure if they were posting them all before and I didn’t notice or if they are also opening up to Spirit.

Either way, I am grateful for it. Everyday there seems to be at least 1 post that is so timely for me right now. I am beginning to get a new sense of purpose for Facebook now. I hadn’t been spending much time there at all for months before my rebirth, but now I actually enjoy checking in to see what terrific things are being posted.
