Some things I'm grateful for:
Three weeks of mild summer weather and some rain! (I live in Australia in a time of severe drought.)
People I can email and ask "Can you help me with some work?" and always get a "Yes" in response.
Strong coffee that I finally drink black! (Okay I still add sugar...)
Having had parents who encouraged me to choose my own path and who were always there for me. A father who taught me about integrity and honesty, and to have a strong work ethic. A mother who taught me about humility and being grateful, and the importance of laughter and the magic of a smile.
Having found the best practice for me—Pure Land Buddhism. Having found the best life for me—being a Buddhist nun.
