  Three good things I'm grateful for: 1. Getting decent rest last night, allowing my mind and body to return to a state of balance and clarity for the new day. 2. Sharing space and practice with my Sangha, cultivating presence and holding compassionate awareness for those who suffer. 3. The playful joy of getting my days mixed up and sneaking hot cocoa into my neighbors' kitchen, reminding me to meet our shared human moments with warmth, mischief, and non-attachment. #threegoodthings #...

  Three beautiful things I'm grateful for this morning: 1. I'm grateful to be centering myself in thoughts of others. When I'm feeling like I'm drowning in my own suffering, the remedy is to think of others. 2. Samhain is near. The darker days are upon us, teaching us strength and resilience. 3. I woke up to the kisses of the dog I'm taking care of. I love pet sitting. #threegoodthings #3goodthings #3GoodThingsToday #gratitude #samhain #Resilience

  Three things I'm grateful for: 1. I still have a place to rest my head despite this administration. 2. I have a friend bringing me soup later today. 3. The best thing that has happened to me since I got Lyme is that I'm now sleeping a lot. I didn't really sleep much when I got COVID in March. #3goodthings #threegoodthings #3GoodThingsToday #gratitude #Lyme

  Three things I'm grateful for this morning: 1. Waking up to that heartwarming fact about humpback whales. The way they protect seals and sunfish from orcas reminds me of all the little ways we look out for each other. Whether it's just being there for someone, taking accountability, helping a friend through a rough patch, doing a memorial walk for a loved one, pet-sitting, caring for someone who is sick, or even just saying hi to a neighbor. It all matters. 2. Making art for a friend&...

  To the people of Palestine: You are not alone. Activists in the U.S. and around the world are actively putting their bodies on the line for you. Right now, four people in New Jersey are facing trial for laying in the roadway to block 1,000 tons of military cargo from leaving the Port of Elizabeth bound for Israel. We see your humanity. We see you as the beautiful human beings you are, not the monsters the Israeli government claims. You bleed the same color the rest of us do. You breathe throug...

  Three good things I'm grateful for this morning: 1. Finding peace in the realization that my healing is my own, separate from those who are not yet capable of compassion. 2. Taking mindful, protective action for our neighborhood trees and the local environment. 3. The warmth of a supportive community and the reminder that my anger and love can coexist safely. #savethetrees #buddhism #healing #3goodthings #3GoodThingsToday #threegoodthings #ThreeGoodThingsToday

  Three good things I am grateful for this morning: 1. I am grateful to live in a town that prioritizes healing. Today we are holding a vigil for the man whose life was taken by ICE. May he and all the victims rest in power. 2. I am learning how to confront people who misunderstand me with love and compassion. 3. I am deeply thankful for the people who influence my life and help shape me into the person I have always wanted to be. #3GoodThingsToday #3goodthings #threegoodthings #gratitude #c...

  Three good things I'm grateful for this morning: 1. My next-door neighbor for organizing the community to proactively oppose a new development proposition. While our town needs more housing, we also need to honor our local Green New Deal. 2. The farmers who work hard to provide us with fresh food. 3. The local resources available to feed the hungry. I am not always able to afford groceries, so I am deeply thankful for the programs around town that help provide meals. #threegoodthings #...

  Three good things I'm grateful for today: 1. Restoring my body at the chiropractor and taking active responsibility for my well-being. 2. Staying grounded and keeping my peace, despite seeing someone who triggered anxiety. 3. Successfully donating life-saving blood and recovering with a quiet pet-sitting evening. #gratitude #3goodthings #3GoodThingsToday #threegoodthings #blooddonation #blooddonor #selfcare

  Three things I'm grateful for today: 1. Hearing that my client told her therapist she is grateful for me. It feels so good to help. 2. I made a new connection through tabling for the peace trot that's happening on Father's Day. A walk for peace. 3. Cado avocado ice cream and my custom tea blend. The tea blend consisted of peppermint leaf, marshmallow root, dandelion leaf, elder flower, echinacea leaf and flower, bladderwrack, and lavender. It made me feel like an alchemist making...

  Three simple things I'm grateful for: 1. For this phrase I came up with, "another day, another breath." It keeps me rooted in the present moment. 2. What a blessing it is to wake up at peace. 3. I am coexisting and co-creating with other human beings. #3goodthings #threegoodthings #3GoodThingsToday #gratitude

  Three Beautiful Things I'm Grateful For Today: 1. For a grounded start. My morning Sangha meditation, which helped me center my mind and begin my day on a deeply positive note. 2. Spiritual roots. A sweet, educational conversation with a member of the Bahá'í faith. It was a wonderful reminder that helped me stay rooted in kindness and intentionality. 3. Collaborative talks. An exhilarating conversation with someone I truly admire. She is so deeply passionate about uplifting...

  Question for Mastodonians: Hey everyone, quick question for your beautiful brains. When you think of someone on here who always speaks with true kindness, how would you describe the effect their words have on the timeline?And what effect did it have on you personally? Like, what does that energy actually do to the space we share? I'm trying to gather information to help me see the acts of kindness in the world and the real time effects it has on others. For my mental wellbeing and as...

  "A new study found that keratin, a structural protein taken from wool, can support bone regeneration in living animals. The material produced bone tissue that more closely matched healthy natural bone than collagen, which is currently considered the standard material for these treatments." https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-turn-wool-into-bone-healing-material-in-medical-breakthrough/ #SustainableMedicine #RegenerativeMedicine #Biomaterials #TissueEngeneering #ecofriendlyinn...

  "The Buddhist scriptures tell a wonderful parable about a kind of monkey trap. To make the trap, some tar is spread on the ground. A monkey then comes along and steps in the sticky tar. First one little monkey foot gets stuck. In trying to free itself, the monkey puts down another foot. Then it puts down one hand, then the other hand. Finally, in a desperate effort to gain some leverage and free itself, the monkey puts down its head. That is a very stuck monkey! That is just how those...

  Prescription For The Disillusioned by Rebecca del Rio Come new to this day. Remove the rigid overcoat of experience, the notion of knowing, the beliefs that cloud your vision. Leave behind the stories of your life. Spit out the sour taste of unmet expectation. Let the stale scent of what-ifs waft back into the swamp of your useless fears. Arrive curious, without the armor of certainty, the plans and planned results of the life you’ve imagined. Live the life that chooses you, new every breath,...

  Three good things I'm grateful for today: 1. Today's Sangha Poem. I am incredibly grateful for the poem shared in my Sangha this morning. It hit so deep and felt like a perfect cosmic connection to the exact inner work I am already doing. 2. Identity Reinforcement. I am thankful to be learning about identity reinforcement. It is helping me stick to my boundaries and making me realize that I absolutely can change, as long as I keep supporting this new being I am birthing with a...

  "Maturity is not becoming someone who no longer wants relational repair, honesty, accountability, or tenderness. Maturity is recognizing that sometimes other people cannot provide those things, and finding a way to remain connected to reality anyway. Closure is not the disappearance of longing. It is the ability to stop organizing your life around the hope that someone else will finally relieve you of it. You can still wish they had done better. You can still wish they had acknowledg...

  Today I'm not really feeling like doing a #gratitudelist So I decided to read about ingratitude lists, and then wrote a list of my own in my journal. It felt validating to read the list I made, and be able to sit with parts of me that are not feeling well. I felt like I was really listening this time. Versus making myself feel better. By sitting with how I am actually feeling, I was able to feel better. Here's the article I read: https://medium.com/illumination/why-i-starte...

  Doing another ingratitude list today. Three things I'm NOT grateful for: 1. I'm not grateful for my trauma. It didn't make me into who I am. It didn't make me stronger. 2. All of my health issues. 3. I'm not grateful to be misunderstood and that I feel like I rarely ever fit in. #ingratitude #mentalhealth #honesty #disability #chronicfatigue

  Sharing to see what other people think. In today's meditation, these questions were asked: Who am I without referring to a thought to tell me who I am? Can I sustain not defining myself for a few moments? And simply be? Just rest in the light of being rather than the idea of being. #meditation #questions #reflection #mentalhealth

  The Nonstick Soul Like a nonstick pan, This positivity doesn't always stick. I don’t think it’s supposed to. Sometimes the darkness seeps in To remind me that without it, the light is invisible. One does not negate the other; They are a conversation. A complement. A contrast that creates the image. It isn't good or bad. It isn’t a war of Dark versus Light. It is simply day becoming night, And night becoming day. A natural occurrence taking place. This is life. This is death....

  Three good things I've been thinking about: 1. Sometimes I am grateful, and sometimes I am not. I am finally learning that both parts are allowed to exist. 2. Yesterday was a "green" day. I listened to stories, I learned, and I felt the pulse of my community. 3. I sat by a waterfall with a friend and shared the literal pages of this book—the project I hope to publish someday. She told me the words were healing and inspiring. Her encouragement gave me the fuel to keep...
