20 MARCH - I'M GRATEFUL

THAT http://www.fourthousand.com.au/ INFORMED ME THAT CHRISTINA FROM DESMOND & MOLLY JONES (WOOLLOONGABBA) HAS NOW OPENED HER OWN QUIRKY GIG.

IT'S CALLED FLAMINGO. ELLA AND I VISITED ON SATURDAY AND IT WAS TEEMING WITH EQUALLY QUIRKY CUSTOMERS.

In 2009 I undertook a photo-a-day blog and found that my friend Eddie Harran was right - it became a spiritual experience. By "spiritual" I mean the project demanded discipline, attention to priorities, reflection, knowing oneself, appreciating how others shape my life and celebration. I am so glad I undertook this project in what was the best year of my life! So now, 2010, I want to turn my attention to Gratitude.
Christians give thanks to God - but as an Nontheist I feel gratitude to those around me and also to the mysterious world I live in. It's extremely important to me to be mindful of how influential people/culture/nature/intellectual pursuits are to my life course. I want this blog to be a daily reminder of how fortunate I am AND that only I can be responsible for my own happiness.
