In an effort to bring back a positive morning ritual (other than my useless scrolling of Facebook, etc.) I am going to do a blog a day. This is a declaration of intent. Whether or not I do it is of course is always questionable. It is so hard to change yourself. So easy to just roll into the stream of who you are and just continue to drift. But I’ve been drifting for about 30 years now and I need to continue to fight the “Big Snooze” – Netflix and booze and the continued deterioration of my vocabulary and spelling. Perhaps I can do it this time. There may just be a little fire in the belly left. I would like to move my health line even more into the green and bail on my growler a night habit. I am grateful for the homicidal rage and dependency that I have developed with my need to relax (set dial to high frequency sarcasm).

Day 1:

Intention (1 lb of effort this week):

I intent to be kind today. To not let my irritation, resentment, and anger get the better of me. To not be a vicious gossip nor a panty revealing pansy. I will try dear God, to find the meaning and purpose in my grind. I will eat as healthy as I can. I will stop eating/drinking @ 7 pm tonight (lets see if all these intentions work out – don’t worry I’ll recap for you tomorrow).

Gratitude:

I am insanely grateful that me, my son, and my family are healthy and alive. I am painfully aware that everything still works, vision is fine, no cancer fires raging, no debilitating injuries, no migraines, etc. I am happy with that.

I am grateful for hot water, employment, a car I love, and a soft friend at home. I am happy that my son goes to a good school and has really good friends.

There – there is all the cheese, gratitude, and intent I can muster. Hari-Krishna, Namastae, Mahhhalo, annd publish.
