Things I love Thursdays…
My friend Jill started a practice on Facebook that I loved and have since adopted: TILT (Things I Love Thursdays).
It’s a fun little way to reflect on what we’re appreciating at a particular moment in time.
This morning I woke up thinking that I ought to start sharing these on my blog, and perhaps inspire some of you to share what you appreciate each week.
So, even though it’s Friday, here we go with the first blog TILT, which I shared yesterday on Facebook:
TILT: Things I love Thursdays…
- Going back to sleep for a couple hours when I really need it, like I did this morning
- Remembering my Dad’s laughter
- Celebrating my Mom’s new job with our Celtic group last night at a powerful ritual for Imbolc
- The sense of hope and possibility that pervades my life.
And, since it is now Friday, I’ll add another few:
- Carrie Newcomer’s music (just added another digital album to my files);
- The bright blessings of friends who have known me long and well and love me anyway (two of whom have birthdays today)
I’d love to hear what people, situations and experiences are filling your heart with joy today, want to share?
And if you’re on Facebook, I hope you’ll connect with me at my Conscious Manifestation community page there:

It is Friday now but I am still grateful for:
Having a an unexpected lunch with my mom and dad.
Losing 5 lbs since Jan 2.
Knowing that my dog and cat have the best life around.
That the rain we are having today will keep our grass such a beautiful green even though it is January.
That I have Kim to remind me that there is much to be grateful for

Love this blog entry, Kim…and love that you are sharing this gratitude practice with others. I learned of TILT from one of my best friends from college–Carlyn–who I have known for almost 25 years. It is indeed a fun way to reflect on what we are grateful for!
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”
–Albert Schweitzer
Thank you for reminding us that gratitude is a practice…and lighting the flame within many people through your kindness and thoughtfulness.

Jill I so appreciate you sharing this practice with me (and thank you to your dear friend Carlyn, who started it all!) I am amazed out how taking a few moments to reflect and share upon “what I love” opens me up to deep feelings of appreciation and joy. I have had a gratitude practice for some time, but something special happens when we share what we love with others. Thank you for inspiring me! Hope you are loving your weekend! Namaste, k

Kim, I love this. Thank you for creating this space for me to take a breath and appreciate! I realize I am a week late, but it’s Thursday, so here goes:
Speaking my truth today in a way that felt scary and good.
Connecting with moms and daughters in my work, which is so gratifying, and which I got to do tonight during a fun class.
That my dog, Bacchus, is finally feeling better after days of painful arthritis.
Getting to wake up tomorrow and see my children, my husband, and later in the afternoon, my parents.
