Grateful for spinach and most of my teeth

I took this picture today of my oldest Painted Conure baby. It's eyes are still shut and he/she knows nothing at all about anything yet.

Some friends of mine are doing that "Thrive" workshop I've mentioned a few times here in the past. We are learning to reprogram out thought process so that instead of living in primarily emotional pain....we are able to go back to a place (mentally and spiritually) where we feel safe with God even if our circumstances are difficult.
The difference between the two is that the negative place puts us in Trauma and the positive place lets us "suffer well" rather than cause further damage to ourselves or others. It's not as freaky as it sounds and it's based on scientific study of the brain as well as the Love OF God.

At this moment I am grateful I was able to email my friend Sylvia in NYC today.
I am grateful I held the baby Painted Conure and got a photo or two.
I am grateful for phone chat with my brother Ted and his wife Nancy.
I am grateful for fresh spinach.
I am grateful for my hearing.
I am grateful I still have most of my teeth.
