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.
A fellow at a Life Ring meeting shared the link to this video of Brother David’s. He said he had heard me speak of grateful.org . Namaste dear Sparrow.
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.
Grateful for feeling understood. Grateful for feeling loved by the ones I want it from the most. Grateful for the opportunity to learn from mistakes. Grateful for my family. Grateful for healing.
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.
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 am grateful for this new & beautiful day.
I am grateful that I have been blessed with a new day to do better today than yesterday.
Happy Tuesday All…..🕊️🩷
A new day.My health. Thankful for my great swim at a pool yesterday. Crepe myrtle blooming. Another not-too-humid summer day in New Jersey visiting with my sister and opportunity to spend time with family . I’m lucky
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.

Thank you, dear Ose. It is indeed a privilege to have family.

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:

I copied these seven questions. I intend to use them. Thank you Drea.
Glad you found them helpful, Joseph.
Thank you, Drea.

Hot coffee, peaceful home, and space to work without interruption.
Amen
For another chance to be alive. For everything and everyone. I am grateful 🧡🙏🏽
Another day to live, another day to repent, and another day to be grateful ☀
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.
A “ME” DAY. A mix between have to’s and enjoyments.
I’m so glad you get to have this, Yram.
A new day.My health. Thankful for my great swim at a pool yesterday. Crepe myrtle blooming. Another not-too-humid summer day in New Jersey visiting with my sister and opportunity to spend time with family . I’m lucky
Sleep. Coffee. My husband and dogs. Good health. Yoga. A class to teach in the city this evening.
