I share your gratitude for waking and sleeping whenever we choose. I love trying native culture foods too, though it is an occasional experience for me. I am so grateful and thankful to meditate every day, and that I've learned how to do this anywhere at any time. Yesterday at the pool, I took a moment to connect and affirm my gratitude for the day, it's blessings and my experiences. Though it may not be quite as common, I am also grateful for my responsibilities. I enjoy their multitude of benefits.
