Gratitude

Wish I was here.....

Or riding my Cannondale road bike on this warm, smooth road,

with nearby hills to climb.....

Even though Calgary, should be called WinterCity, having only two seasons - Winter & construction or stampede season. I know how fortunate we are to live here.

I am grateful:

to breathe fresh air, even if it's cool & crisp most of the time
to be close to the mountains for biking & to ski (when there's too much snow for biking)
for my friends
the amazing electronic bass music scene that has evolved over the years
for the strong communities & kulas I'm part of
for my career
to have the honor to share my love of yoga with others
to have ideas, followed by resourses & determination to make things happen

With everything that's happening in the world I am reminded of how fortunate we are and how trivial daily complaints can be...in comparison to the global picture. I try to help as much as I can, still there's feelings that its not enough....then I'm reminded and filled with gratitude...
