Experiment: Day Thirty
So, the Experiment is now over.
When Annie issued this challenge, she asked for even one person to share in response to her sharing something for which she was grateful at that moment. Some little thing. Or some big thing. Just something.
She ended up getting lots of shares. And I did too. And hopefully you did too.
I couldn't have known when I decided to join Annie on this journey that I would've needed 30 days of gratitude more than I could've anticipated. Seemed to be an easy meme to jump in on. Turned out to be essential to helping me deal with some professional and personal hits.
And on that note, I'll likely be going radio silence for a few days after this post. Facing some stuff for which I just need you to pledge me your vibes, your prayers, your white light, your quick whispers of support, your candle-lighting. I'll report back and be less cryptic, but for now, just keep me in your best, most positive thoughts and hope this launchpad of gratitude which we have all shared is going to be really powerful, especially Thursday morning. THANK YOU.
What did I learn from this Experiment? What were the results for me?
Well, I learned that I really do idle at grateful. I spend most of my time pretty dang blissed out about how good I've got it and all the miracles I witness daily. I also learned that I love and appreciate...
stuff...
the Internet, animals, water, the luxury of comfort, music
people...
my ex-beaus, actors, family, friends, Quinn, Keith, those who share their toys
conditions...
spontaneity, memories, happy surprises, my rockin' bod, laughter
work...
collaboration, being in demand, Hollywood, brain power
lessons...
perspective, epiphanies, modeling good behavior
and the magic that is the universe's clever ways...
irony, random cuteness, choices, getting away with it, change
And even though sometimes it took all the energy I had to actually drag my ass to the keyboard and get that day's gratitude post UP, I'm so dang glad that I did... every single time. It's a victory and evidence that discipline in all things comes from just showing up and doing it.
Keep the gratitude flowin', everyone!
Thank you, Annie.
Day Thirty:
I am grateful for this experiment.

I loved this experiment. Even when I didn't get a chance to write about it in my personal blog each week, I made sure to contemplate it every day, and I'm so thankful that I did that.
Sendin' some white light and white heat, baby! Keep on truckin, Bon! :)
