gratitude thread

for ever and ever. amen.

 

i'm grateful for badass younger sisters

 

i have gratitude in my heart towards the little bully at the park today. he gave me a teaching opportunity and the chance to show my son how to have compassion and empathy for someone who feels that they need to be "in power" to feel loved. i was also able to teach my son how to give love to another person while still staying centered and not being emotionally trampled on.

 

I love you.

 

that's such a beautiful message kharakov

i'm grateful for sickness because it gives me the chance to slow down for a little while.

 

i'm grateful for hot peppermint tea. it makes my mouth happy when my heart is sad.

 

I'm patiently waiting for the other shoe to drop but while I wait, i am basking in unimaginable contentment fascination and serendipity.

 

I"m still feeling very grateful tho also at times very aggressive. Good that I'm not violent!! Thank GOD I'm not violent! Or a child molestor or a womanizing drunkard. Well, OK, maybe I could be a womanizing drunkard but I'm not.

I'm grateful for my babies.
And that I can do something with my life that has meaning for me, and still be with my babies a lot of the time.
And that we have food in the pantry
And clothes for those kids to wear
and clothes for me and my man to wear

I am grateful I have a good physician, who can treat a difficult illness, that others could not
I am grateful we have the medical insurance to pay for that treatment
I am grateful for our land, and our animals and our garden

I am grateful I still have my mind intact, and my life intact

 

I'm grateful my dad is finally expanding his mind.

I'm grateful my mom tries her best at everything.

I'm grateful I have two amazing brothers who are really contributing to this world.

I'm grateful for my cat.

I'm grateful for the creativity I'm at.

I'm grateful I'm comfortable.

I'm grateful I'm happy.

 

I'm grateful that all I need to be happy is to stay away from things that make me unhappy.

 

a couple of little junkos finally found the birdfeeder that i put out over a month ago!

 

Parmesan cheese. Grated parmesan cheese, not the block kind. Kraft. That's what I am grateful for. And lots of other stuff. But most of all, right now, I think it's grated parmesan cheese. Or at least talking about grated parmesan cheese. Or thinking about talking about grated parmesan cheese.

Basically, what I am trying to say is that I am grateful for the oppurtunity to talk about grated parmesan cheese to all you wonderful beings out there.

 

Seriously. What could be better than having a whole bunch of people read your post about grated parmesan cheese?

This is awesome. I am especially grateful for the oppurtunity to write a follow up post to my post about grated parmesan cheese. I really am trying to think of a way to put the words grated and grateful next to eachother in a sentence. I am grateful grated parmesan cheese can be said after the word grateful.

There are so many wonderful things in life to be happy about.

Like, grated parmesan cheese.

 

Bumping this old thread up as a good way of consciously practicing gratitude. I invite everyone who sees this to post what they currently feel grateful for, even if it's only one good positive thing a day.

Today, I have gratitude for:

• The fact I woke up today
• The roof over my head
• The clothes on my back
• The food I ate
• The new friends who supported me over on a pretty chaotic forum topic
• Seeing an old friend briefly who forgot what week choir rehearsal started
• My internet service, laptop and phone that keep me connected to the rest of the world
• The beautiful weather
• The meditation technique a good friend taught me years ago to release unneeded emotions and negative energy
• The addiction-related shows I watched on Netflix that gave me some ideas for positive life changes
• Having felt out-of-control so that I remembered to surrender to Divine will and take what positive actions I can

I know that's a doozy of a list, but it helped to spill all that out after being in a more shadowy place earlier!
