Today is the second to last day of my trip to the US. I took the bus from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, so I don’t have to hurry to catch the flight from LAX at 8am tomorrow. I’ve decided to stay at a youth hostel close to the airport as there’s not enough time to meet up with any of the people I know here and possibly stay at their place tonight. But that’s cool, I haven’t stayed at a hostel in a long time

1. I am grateful for meeting some interesting folks here at the hostel. It’s great to see that people are making their dreams of travelling come true by just doing it and being great examples for others to follow.
2. I am grateful for experiencing quite a few instances of perfect timing today. It’s wonderful when things just fall into place due to that.
3. I am grateful for my evolving ability to become aware of and transform my negative mind that wants to make me worry all too often. Good to get chances to practice turning worry into trust and confidence.
4. I am grateful for meeting a guy from Taiwan / Singapore in the bus, how I intuitively chose to sit down next to him and the conversations that we shared during the 5 hour bus ride. Good to get in touch with cultures I’ve never experienced before. I love the subtle positive influences this has on me.
5. I am grateful for the Kundalini Yoga class I joined yesterday evening in Vegas. Great to find people who teach that everywhere I go!
6. I am grateful for having been shown during that class that I can meditate for 31 minutes straight, while practicing to focus on prosperity for all life areas. Good to be challenged to hone my focus.
7. I am grateful for how my body appreciates the workout by letting me feel sore muscles all over. It shows me how much more I can actually challenge myself physically.
8. I am grateful for having had a place to stay, live and just be for the last 6 and a half weeks in the USA. I came here as a kind of stranger, not knowing what to expect and how it would turn out, and leaving with a heightened sense of familiarity and trust. It’s great to experience that I can survive with very little planning and instead by just being myself — open, authentic, friendly, caring, loving.
9. I am grateful for having had such great hosts. Even though our connection was not always the deepest, we had a good time together and were able to appreciate each other. I love how I deal better and better with the deeply ingrained feer that I cannot accept others’ hospitality because I could be a burden for them.
10. I am grateful for the awesome time I had playing and just “hanging out” with my hosts’ dogs. I love animals, it’s such an amazing experience to feel deeply connected to them, to feel their companionship, their acceptance, their love.
