Seeing as well as experiencing kindness awakens gratefulness in me, when i can sense the heart in someones being and/or doing; the new day arising after a very difficult intermediate state which cleared a kind of paralysis through awareness in and around me; and what i really appreciate is when being invited to help and do so if ever possible. This always opens the door to being grateful for all which is, and for being together with kindred hearts, for which i am always deelpy grateful. And i have to add, meditation does, to which I have hardly been able to devote myself to consistently for quite some time. Deeply grateful for this kind encouragement and renewed inspiration. Thank you all, dearly, and wishing a good night´s sleep and for all of you a new day full of gratitude and wonder.
It sounds,
dear Ose,
that you have a strong and supportive community of people
who genuinely love each other.
I so wish I could find such a community nearby,]
but people in my area
are either politically inclined
or dogmatically religious . . .
sometimes
I feel like i am living on an island. ♥
Starting out . . .
the love of my husband and my cats,
my son,
all of nature,
the people in these forums . . .
the list grows longer
the longer I practice Gratitude.
It is now very, very long. ♥
“the list grows longer
the longer I practice Gratitude.” Such a good point! You have strengthened your gratefulness muscle and awakened/opened your gratitude inner eye ♥️
I am feeling very under the weather the past few days but took some Dayquil and went to the Scottish games & festival anyway. It helped awaken my soul today.☘️
Something as simple as sitting here in the sun, with my coffee, can reliably bring about a sense of gratitude. And the fact that today is mine. I don’t have to go to work. I can do some self care and attend to my hobbies. I am so grateful to have this day.
Just an awareness that there is such a thing as gratefulness. My gratitudes are true for me and pretty mundane: 2014 car that chugs along after 2 accidents; my condo, I had vinyl flooring installed and it’s made such a difference; my part time job; school and the work there.
Contrast. Coming inside to a warm house after being outside in the cold. Finally relaxing after a long spell of being amped up. Going to a quiet place in nature after a while in the city. Being with friends after being alone, and also solitude after bouts of busy socializing. Contrast and variety remind me that nothing is the same for long, and reliably awaken gratefulness.

Hope you feel better soon Robin Ann-speedy recovery to you.
I hope you are soon feeling better,

Always the gift of a new day.
These days it happens less frequently than I would like: Getting a good night’s sleep!

Ah,
dear Charlie . . .
may we sit in the sun with you,
coffee in hand
and gratitude in our hearts?
It sounds so peaceful. ♥
Quiet. Trees swaying. The last playlist my husband made titled CELEBRATION OF BEAUTY.

“just an awareness that there is such a thing as gratefulness.” Yes!
Trust me,
dear Christina . . .
mundane is good. ♥
Yes it is better than chaos!
Remembering that life itself is a gift and every moment is a gift.
Thinking back on the life my husband and I shared for 56 years. All the people who circled us to make it what it was……positive or negative.

I have organ donation on my driver’s license and my family knows. I give blood occasionally; this is a good reminder to get on a schedule for that.
The winter is coming, and I’m grateful to have a cozy place to stay, filled with love and joy. 🧣
My Ngoc, you’re going to love it; 32 degrees outside with snow.
