It's all in our perception, I guess. <br /><br />I definitely believe that writing counts as prayer! That's part of the reason why I started this blog: to be a type of prayer.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18131562927694455529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664282956149183046.post-14225898762813932402009-04-27T07:12:00.000-07:002009-04-27T07:12:00.000-07:00I know what you mean by remembering to pray and th...I know what you mean by remembering to pray and then falling asleep.<br />It is remembering to be grateful when you wake up, which I am too sleepy to do. So if the day is nice, I do remember to say thank you to God. If I remember to say thank you when it is cloudy--which is rare--I then add it is good for the grass...<br />Thinking of what we have is the key to being grateful. Always thinking of how good we have it. Even if we have less, being grateful of what we have, never thinking of what we lack because that makes us look at life in a negative way.<br />It would be nice to sit for at least 5 minutes and pray/meditate. My fidgety mind is too restless & it it a challenge for me to do so. I prefer to write in my morning pages and let my thoughts flow and write about the good things that we have...that is, whenever I remember to do so.<br />Amencristinabkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531330538719946641noreply@blogger.com
