Grateful

I neglected to finally express myself a few days back because I didn´t want to give Thanksgiving a bigger importance than what America gives it. I am NOT American, and to me, the first and foremost holiday is Christmas, the only holiday with a real purpose. I feel that if I were to celebrate Thanksgiving, I would betray my roots because I am most definitely NOT devoted to a turkey, no offense. Mind you that I like the concept of being appreciative.
Giving thanks is one of my first daily duties and I am grateful for the things that I abide by, my ABC´s
Faith (spirituality)
Family
My career (my skills, abilities and endless opportunities)
My health
Being able to help others, give a lending hand to those in need.
Being able to see and read as that is one of the most fundamentals elements to consider in a person´s life.
Playing with words (writing; one of my passions, I don´t know what I would have done had I not been gifted with this marvelous gift, being able to make magic with words).
Being able to reason and having compassion for others.
And just enjoying the simple things in life. Not getting caught amidst the material and superficial aspect of humanity.
For the many blessings in my life.
For the good people that God has placed in my journey to guide me.
Spirituality, family, work and business ethics, health and fitness, charity work, reading, playing with words, reflecting and embracing the simplicity of life...

“Walking Ashram”
November 2, 2015
One of my dreams in life is to go M. I. A. for a month and cleanse my mind, body, soul, spirit, heart, and body. I have not yet planned this getaway but knowing me, everything I set my mind to, I make it happen sooner or later!
“Walking Ashram”
When a person becomes part of an Ashram, he becomes a walking Ashram in his life; he becomes integrated. He is an Ashram because that is what he actually is.
An Ashram is simply a stabilizing factor, like the grandmother of a family who is always at home with the children: calm, beautiful, happy, and joyful. She is a stabilizing factor. When the home is an Ashram, that home is perfect. In the same way, if the government is an Ashram, that nation is perfect.
In the teaching, no one must be excluded or discarded. Everyone is part of humanity. Every part is essential.
