Gratitude Journal Entries over a Year


3/26/13
After a tough day being ungrateful, I was kindly reminded when starting Rudram to be grateful for his healing.    My allergies quickly subsided the minute I started Rudram...such a blessing.  I have had an amazing day reminding myself of the gratitude we don't have when we feel great health.  With a painful shoulder, allergies, & some negative thoughts, I grumbled out of the gym...but I forgot that I GOT to go to the gym, to have the freedom and will to workout and have great company with a great friend.  I am so grateful for this time of my life to take a deep dive within.  I was reminded again today of the victim in every criminal.  With my negative prejudice thoughts / racism; I am reminded that every crime has a corresponding victim for the one who has no answer for the pain and suffering an uncontrollable mind's thoughts &/ actions have on that individual.  No matter what one may do to cover up the thoughts, the silence felt at times, beats any reason for these recurring thoughts.  May the Sadhana, Satsang, and Silence remove the sanskaras.
