I'm usually a naturally grateful person. I feel gratitude rather spontaneously and sincerely, for everything from the pleasant UPS man to someboey else's passion that inevitably inspires me. Lately, though, I haven't been feeling very thankful. So I've been doing what Oprah and others are often touting: Keeping a gratitude journal, at least mentally. 10 things a day. Some days I have to dig deep, expressing gratitude for not drinking sour milk or catching the pig flu. My mother always tells my bitter sister to be thankful she has two arms and two legs, which is never a comfort to her. I doubt that avoiding the possibility of drinking sour milk on any given day would comfort her either, but it's helping me to feel as though I'm at least trying.
Here's my list for today: I'm grateful for...
1. My doctor, who listens to me and ensures that I know he is listening
2. Coffee
3. Song's like Coldplay's Yellow played loudly
4. Not getting a speeding ticket
5. AStrology insights
6. The fact that my doctor doesn't think my kidneys are failing
7. Jeans
8. Designer flip flops
9. Pain-free fingers
10. Good writing
Intuitive truth is the knowing of something that is not visible or provable in a scientific, factual way. This blog address those truths, which are revealed to us through a bodily knowing and captured through art; music; dance; and lyrical, descriptive writing. Reality is metaphorical: Every thing in the world points to something else, a truth contained within it that cannot be separated from the seer/ seeker. I hope you enjoy the blog and post your own glimpses of truth here and/or elsewhere.

About Me
- Christine Sarah
- I’m a (sometimes, practical) dreamer who loves potential more than the finished product, the ideal more than the real, possibility more than actuality. I’m a double Pisces, Scorpio rising, lover of astrology. My husband tells me that I’m not a misfit, but that I don’t fit into the world very well. I’m a bit of a hermit, who follows the phases of the moon and loves all shades of red. Interior design, interesting photography, and men in work boots like the one’s painted by Van Gough turn me on. If I could do it all over, I would have had two beautiful children, whom I would have taught to dream, and paint, and believe in themselves. And I would have learned to dream, and paint, and believe in myself much earlier in life. I hope to someday have a yard full of wildflowers. I'd love to be a professional muse. And if I had my way, I would fall in love each and every day for the rest of my life.

What a good exercise- even when its hard - which it is for me today after an unsettling day at work: talk of the company being bought, managers handing out inane advice like "its your chance to shine" as people worry about being laid off and losing their houses, an employee I really like and want to shine, but who sometimes acts dumb as a stump:
Still here's my list:
1. My new yellow snapdragons
2, Funny women who like gay men
3. A purposeful bowel movement, at home
4. A cat that purrs alot when I touch him
5. A new friend that seems to like me
6. A few old friends that still seem to like me
7. Lexapro
8. Ice cream in the freezer for dessert
9. The bumblebee that is looking for a nest around my house
10. Memories
Great list! Thanks for sharing. I do think we can always find 10 things; and having a sense of humor always helps.
