Counting my Blessings today and everyday.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Being a vegetarian, this holiday's appeal is not the dinner, but the opportunity to see beloved family members. I've been watching many documentaries this week, but the very best one was on Showtime Who Killed the Electric Car?" If you have On Demand, it's under Showtime movies.
Reading today's Daily Kos is a must.
If you hate watching sports like me, C-Span II's Book TV is incredibly great.

Also watching the live cats at Buzy's BowWow Meow on my desktop. As though I don't have enough cats of my own to keep an eye on. At Buzzy's there are two solid white cats up for adoption, a tabby tuxedo with a huge head (adorable)and a long haired black and white Tuxedo. You can find a link to the webcams in my list of sites and blogs I read daily. This morning I saw a very sickly fox with the mange and a blue heron taking off from my pond. I see that blue heron at least once or twice a week. My over-crowded fish are dwindling. I would never harm the blue heron but I do run outside and scream at him to go away. I put out food for the fox, peanuts for the squirrles and birdsead for the birds. Bonnieview is a virtual sanctuary and it is kind of expensive but it makes me feel like I am contributing to the welfare of a small portion of wildlife in my immediate vicinity.

Saw the DVD of The Secret earlier this week and am practicing it's main tenets: Write a list of everything you are grateful for and make a list of everything you would like to have. Then everyday while you are still in bed, think of something you are grateful for. Also picture having what you want as strongly as possible and feel the emotion. I think it is beginning to work. It's a little on the hokey side but I found this youtube video of the first twenty minutes.
