    To serve to be of reasonable support for others in need; having been helped by many dear kindred hearts all along the way to finding and keeping the inner position of being deeply grateful as a gift of sorts; especially meditation which is where my heart belongs as well as accompanying bikerides together with other kindred hearts, love for music, creativity in general, connection to Mother Earth and so much more, while for the moment being, these would be the ones to be named. All a huge part of the great fullness, to whom i can only bow to and offer my deep thanks to all. May you all have a blessed day.

    Oh please spare me this woeful sentence is usually breaking down below empty

      That has to be the most honest answer because it’s the first thought that crawled out without a filter being able to stop it knowing it is a dismally poor response actually a defeatist mindset bound to lose no wonder I have been adamantly requesting this universe do unspeakably awful things to my doomed soul

      Is it too late to pray? Not if a breath remains the Ordained Ones say however my prayers have gone South long ago I fear it is failing me gravely

        What has helped me Insipid Infernus in times of great despair is to observe the natural world that surrounds. All in it has its place.

        Maybe search out a church that you may like? That has helped me in the past find peace and pray.

    The great fullness of my life is made up of my family and friends, my amazing job, the beautiful island I live on, and the moments where I stop to realize what abundance I have.

    All of it, really.

    Since “great fullness” was in quotation marks (I recognize the play on words) I searched and found the essay by Kristi Nelson on this site https://grateful.org/resource/embracing-the-great-fullness-of-life/. That helped me with my answer.

    The great fullness of my life is my daughter & her husband, my dear cousin, her husband & their family, a few close friends, my faith, Mother Nature & all my spiritual guides. Walking, yoga, music,(Jerry Garcia), books, poetry all add to the fullness of my life, too. ❤️
    My curiosity as well…..😊

    I’m just learning to feel that “fullness”, and I’m realizing I feel it most when faced with small troubles. I feel that fullness when I welcome the troubles, face them with friends and loved ones, and acknowledge what it took to move on. I feel it on the good days, of course, but I’m happy to feel that fullness elsewhere now too.

    As I grow in living by it, today’s quote by Spring Washam answers this question perfectly for me….
    “Listen to your heart and trust the direction you are being pulled. Something inside you already knows what to do.” Grateful to be getting better at it day by day.

    Watching the birds at the bath, reading, enjoying the bounty of the garden, praising medical research, being grateful for what is.

    I don’t always feel a “great fullness” in
    my life. But I do feel more fullness than
    I have ever felt. This includes caring for
    someone and being cared for. It includes
    being connected to other people through
    sharing of our intimate stories. This also
    includes seeing the world and my life
    with gratitude. Yes, certain feelings and
    experiences fill me up, but without the
    posture of gratitude, these things can
    slip by and go unnoticed.

    My family and good friends. Mother Nature: the trees and greenery in my back yard, and the wildlife out there … various birds, squirrels, the occasional other visitors out back, often depending on the season. Lake Michigan down the road … gives me life.

    Ngoc, my family, a simple inner life, and settling on a few part-time performance jobs are the gratefulness of my life.
