I Am Grateful

This afternoon I went to town, first to the Centre to do the program. I had done the computer work yesterday so just needed to print it off so Lorraine & I could assemble it into all the covers. No sooner was I at the Centre and my cell rang. It was Hannah with some changes to make to the program. A few short minutes later and it would have been too late. I had to add & change several things to do what they (Hannah & Rev. Sheila) wanted, due to it being Easter Sunday. One of the changes they wanted was for me to do the Healing Inspiration instead of Bev, something to do with. You see, one person will do this (read something spiritual and inspiring) then read a Treatment (specific type of prayer). This Sunday they will be singing a Treatment so wanted me to just do the Inspiration. Rev. Dale, overhearing my end of the conversation, suggested I also read the Treatment and then they sing it. You see, it's a rather special one. Several months ago now, I wrote a Treatment in the form of a poem, then read it to Hannah who asked for a signed copy of it and I gave it to her. A week or two ago, she told me she'd been inspired by my poem and had written music to it. Since then, Hannah, Rev. Sheila, Jim, Alara & Linda have been practicing it and will do the first preformance of this song. I'm really looking forward to hearing it. The song will be copywrited with Lyrics by me and Music by Hannah. This is pretty cool.

After doing the programs I printed out some brochures for the New Comers Packages, and brought them with me to fold here at my lesure. Then I drove Lorraine to Safeway and went to the Bulk Food store across the street to get a few things I needed while she got her stuff. Drove her home then ran a couple more errands, got oil for my truck and checked the feed store to see if anyone had put up a notice of chickens for sale... no one had. Next it was off to the dog park where Reba and I had a nice walk. Oh ya, I had also picked up a Rice Bowl from the Wrap Zone. I took it and my homework for tonights class with me and sat at a picnic table at the back of the dog park where I ate and finished the homework in preparation for tonights class.

Went to Dollarama to grab a few small items, then to class, "The Passion Test". Wow, a great class!! We went about 25 minutes over time and no one seemed to mind. It was just so good we lost track of time. That 2 hours 25 minutes just flew by... zippp.

I use my laptop for taking notes during classes as I can type faster than I can write, or at least most days. There is a wireless router there, so I can also keep tabs on the rest of the world if the class is boring, but that rarely happens, and never in this particular class.


- I am grateful I've been more physically active this week.
- I am grateful to have the programs done early again this week. Way better than doing them Sunday morning.
- I am grateful Lorraine helps me to do the programs now.
- I am grateful Spirit, through and as me, writes poetry and short stories.
- I am grateful Hannah wrote music to my poem.
- I am grateful to finally get to hear 'our' song.
- I am grateful for the food I ate today.
- I am grateful for the teas I bought today... Georgia Peach Rooibos, Peppermint, Alfalfa Mint.
- I am grateful I am becoming more and more organized.
- I am grateful for all the 'little things' in life.
- I am grateful for the people I am taking the class with. People of 'like mind', growing together, supporting each other.
- I am grateful for help revamping and improving my vocabulary (removing 'but', because it negates all the good in what we say).
- I am grateful for the abundance of the Universe.

Any chance you can get that song on video and share it with us?

Thanks Thom. Hey, a girl's gotta make a living... well, a few extra dollars anyway. I am grateful for my assignments with PayU2Blog, and for the money they pay me.
