I’m so grateful for my morning gratitude practice.  It makes me happy, and gets my day off to a good start.  First, I write a list of things I appreciate about yesterday, making sure to put a positive spin on any thing that didn’t seem so great at the time.  (If I woke up grumpy, things are usually looking better now!)  Then I jot down everything I’ve loved so far  today, and all I’m looking forward to doing for the rest of the day. (Nothing like planning to have a nice day!)  Next come eight more wonderful things that are constant in my life, like good health, a roof over my head, and a lasting relationship.  (Feeling blissed by this time for sure!)  Now for the grand finale: Number eleven is something currently happening in my life that feels truly special.  At the moment, it’s performing last night for a benefit called Let’s Raise The Roof, where several faiths came together to raise money to help First Congregational Church Berkeley to recover from a big fire.  It was a really fun and inspirational evening, and it’s all going to happen again on  Sun. Dec. 18, 6:00 p.m., Lake Park Methodist Church, 281 Santa Clara Ave., Oakland. Ticket donation is $25/one or $20/two or more.  Info/Questions: roymosley@comcast.net  (415) 742-0538

  • “Trick-ling”

    Memories of Halloween come “trick-ling” back to me this time of year. My family lived in a small town where traditional Trick-or-Treat was entirely safe. I especially liked going to the Eminheisers’ house where we were invited in to see the extravagant decorations (nothing to “freak-out” little children in those days). The grand tour ended…

  • Technology and Myself

    It’s been a stormy relationship.  There was no natural attraction, but society kept throwing us together.  However, through my angry tantrums, begging, pleading, and occasional emotional meltdowns, Technology remained steadfast.  Our relationship is definitely high maintenance, and for many years I carried deep resentment for the way it  sucked up my time, energy, and money. …
