    I am grateful for this day, for learning from mistakes, for healing, as some have already mentioned, for having met kindred hearts at the gratefulness group´s host´s zoom meeting. Grateful for the love which shines through all joy and all hardship also.. For my friends and loved ones who are offering Love and patience for supporting transformation. Thank you all, and thank you, life.

        Namaste,
        dear Joseph . . . ♥
        I’ve watched and listened to this
        hundreds of times over the years,
        including the earlier version,
        which I like better
        because it wasn’t over produced.

    I just spent a week and a half with my family who live in another state. It was lovely to be with relatives who know me so well. I am grateful for the time I had with them.

      The same with me, dear Linda. My father´s 96. birthday yesterday was a beautiful day for him and for all, grateful for this opportunity to celebrate together, to see him being happy and present and to also meet my beloved sister, with whom I had the chance to travel to her homeplace today and to spend some more time just with her now. I too am so grateful to have this time together with my family. All the best for you and your loved ones, dear Linda.

    Today I am grateful for my sweetheart and for the hot coffee he brings me each morning, for the crows calling to each other in nearby trees, for the cat who sat on my lap a while to get petting and chin skritches, for poetry, for this community that reminds me to notice and appreciate.

    Today’s quote: “To know someone’s pain is to share in it. And to share in it is to relieve some of it.” And, Richard Rohr’s meditation for today:

      Thank you Carol, for the link to that passage.

      The Richard Rohr meditation reminds me of a book that helped me a lot: Harriet Lerner’s “The Dance of Anger.” These are some questions, derived from that book, that have helped me transform anger into healing:

      What about the situation makes me angry?
      What is the real issue here?
      What do I think and feel?
      What do I want to accomplish?
      Who is responsible for what?
      What specifically do I want to change?
      What are the things I will and will not do?

        I copied these seven questions. I intend to use them. Thank you Drea.

      My Ngoc, I’m always grateful to go to sleep and wake up with you. It reminds me of the continuation of my poem with our picture from Sunday.

    I am grateful for my husband making me a delicious cup of coffee. It’s starting to kick in as a I type and work up energy to jump on my rebounder. I am grateful for new opportunities at work and I am becoming grateful for how they test my patience. I am grateful to begin my day here connecting with what really matters. May you all stay connected to gratefulness today.
