Okay, so, the red face has been up here for a while. I have been depressed, but I also am blessed, and I try not to forget that. Moving up to the orange face.
Some things I'm grateful for now: Having enough to eat; having a comfortable-enough place to sleep; being in very good physical health (thanks to G-d); access to health care; kindness from both people I love and people I don't; witnessing beauty, especially in surprising places; freedom— in large part— to go where I want when I want to and how I want to; not suffering the abuse that some people are subject to; having a good relationship with my boss; having a resource (this site) where I can share what I'm going through and how I feel; the ability to write and to share writing; the ability to travel, to distant place infrequently and to closer places more often; and what meditation brings me when I'm able to do it.
That's all I can think of for now.
I pray that I can do good for others. G-d has granted me so much in the other direction.
