We all know November is a time for gratitude. Some of you may have a daily gratitude practice or at least during our yoga grateful meditation focus on the things that bring you true gratitude. Gratitude brings light into our hearts, spreads loving warmth throughout our bodies and radiates positive energy into the world. Can we be grateful for all things in our life? I am going to suggest going beyond the obvious grateful moments and finding meaning for the dark moments in life also. Finding beauty in these moments can bring you to a place of peace and acceptance instead of misery and dread. I am grateful for the flu. It is making my body stronger for future strains of influenza and showing me ways to practice yoga yet again without the asana. I am grateful all things are transitory and I will welcome a day soon when I am back in class with all of you.
