What Are You Thankful For?

This Monday is the Canadian Thanksgiving so all this week during our closing meditation I have been asking my students to mindfully make note of something they are thankful for. They are to pick one thing and just meditate with it, not vocalize their idea. And all week I have had the opportunity to do this a few times and I can't help but think of different things every time because every day is different. Since this isn't my yoga class I'm going to take this opportunity to vocalize some of the things that I am thankful for.

-I'm thankful for my friend Sandi and our journey across the country 14 years ago this thanksgiving weekend because without her I would not have made the journey.
-I'm thankful for my husband and his genuine & infinite patience for me.
-I'm thankful for my wonderful kids.
-I'm thankful to have yoga present in my life.
-I'm thankful to have wonderful & supportive people in my life.

I suppose I could go on and on listing all the things I'm thankful for and it's my blog I could if I wanted to but I won't. What I want is to know one thing that you are thankful for, feel free to post it here or just make a mental note to yourself while you have a quiet moment and feel the joy raise within you.

Namaste
