    It’s been a very harsh winter here in RI, the worse in 30 years so tonight I would like to be thankful for warmer temps. to week. Our Governor also put thru an Exec order to help folks with their Utility bills and we have a credit of $25 for 3 months!

    I also want to give thanks to the Walk for Peace. It was beyond heart warming to see videos monks and priests together at the National Cathedral. The crowd a mixture of culture and ethnics. So many people showing up with love and peace gives hope for a better tomorrow.

    I give thanks everyday for good health for the ones I love and myself, for our food and shelter and for our warmth when it’s cold and the ability for coolness when it is warm.

      Charlie, I echo the same sentiment with my root people. Techniques may be incompatible, but they’re the ones who have always been there when needed most. It all starts and ends with the heart.

    I am thankful for all the participants here as well as in the lounge. I am grateful for my check in person. I am thankful for the many many folks who have been in my life and the many who continue to remain.

    I offer my thanks to my body. I forgot to eat enough yesterday and didn’t sleep well because I was hungry. I am grateful that I could feel the hunger. There was a time when I was hungry so often that I couldn’t tell what was hunger and what wasn’t, where I felt off and agitated as a matter of course. These days I am lucky to usually not be hungry, to have enough to eat, and to have a body that is nourished.

    Right now, I am thankful for my retired status in ministry – freeing me to serve in much broader ways beyond the walls of the church building. Although now I am no longer on a payroll, which I miss, I am grateful that I can truly go or stay where I feel led.

    I offer my thanks to my friends. We’re gathering tomorrow for the birthday of one of us. It’s been a tough week with a lot of emotional upheaval because of taking on others’ emotions. It’s not my problem. my therapist says. The party will be a welcome break.

      I feel you. It is so hard when others seem to unload their emotions in a way that seems they expect someone else to pick up their load because they don’t have the ability to do it themself. Especially if it’s directed at you. Hugs

    I am sitting in a cabin in the north woods of Canada where I have been cross country skiing for the past week and get to go out again today. To all the people who happily keep this remote camp available for us who want and can venture here, to immerse ourselves in this incredible beauty, stillness, and winter wonderland, I give thanks. ♥️❄️♥️

      I once stayed, with a good friend to this day, in a remote cabin for three winter months in Los Brazos of Northern New Mexico. Nov., Dec. ’79’ Jan. ’80’. Thank you for jogging my memory Mary Mantei.

      Mary Mantei, 40s in the Twin Cities over the next week. I can totally see the snow melting. Not only that, there’s a chance of rain at times too.

    Of course, a lot of people and things are contributing to my stable life. But right now, I’d like to give a big thank you to Loc, my cuddle buddy. I can comfortably share stuff with him that isn’t that easy to share with others, which includes mental health. I also want to thank my school therapist and the companion app that is available 24/7 to text with me during tough moments. Thanks to all the folks who participate here for the wisdom and positivity you bring to my life. Happy Thursday, everyone! 💐

    To the Creator, I offer my heartfelt Thanks for safe travel to an annual Conference to see friends old and new. Many I’ve known for over 25 years. Grateful too for the Elders who’ve gone before me who created and founded this gathering and the Language of the Heart that sustains us. Sending thoughts of Peace to all this Thursday! ☮️💕

    I offer thanks to my body for being healthy and functioning. I have been a little down on my physical form, as female hormonal stuff has been a little wacky, but I know how important self-talk is, whether out loud or just silently in my head, and I have to remember to be nice to this amazing vessel I get to walk around in.

      dear SunnyPatti,
      even on the days that slow me down. ♥
