Gratefulness
my purple sand cherry and blueberry bushes have blossomed…..hoping for some miracle of pollination to occur so can eat blueberries after a few dormant years……
my seedlings sprouting, growing, waiting to be transplanted into my garden….
be still, listen and be present! challenge for sure today and every day, Enjoy! Gina
taking those few moments each day are the key, but as mentioned , it is every moment that leads us into the next. each moment guides to the next and allows me to see what is a crisis only lasts as part of a bigger problem and also solution. right now I am telling myself, the old adage , this too shall pass and reminding myself that my centredness will remind me that this, is life, I have survived many times before and it will all change again, so to hold on to hope and to see all...
taking those few moments each day are the key, but as mentioned , it is every moment that leads us into the next. each moment guides to the next and allows me to see what is a crisis only lasts as part of a bigger problem and also solution. right now I am telling myself, the old adage , this too shall pass and reminding myself that my centredness will remind me that this, is life, I have survived many times before and it will all change again, so to hold on to hope and to see all the good – will this all help to guide my actions?, if not it will be okay, because there will be more opportunities…….if I did not believe this then I feel I would be not living fully….accepting, forgiving, and being grateful for it all!!!
thought, speech and actions contribute to how faithful I am to my values so it is a continual cycle and being faithful to this is constantly challenging my day to day, moment to moment way of being.., for sure. best if I lead with my heart most times…………….
I have been less than whole hearted about my sisters and although I pray for them, I think when I am ready and able I will contact them for a warm , gracious, short visit…..that is my wish I am most heart broken about lack of contact with my 6 nieces and nephews and will try to maintain contact on their terms through social media…it is motivating me to have some skills that will help have a relationship with them and broaden my view of things, mostly to appreciate what I do ...

be grateful to be alive!
fear and anger which are interrelated and connected……………. how’s that for releasing…… and as a result as Antoinette says, love and truth ….will bring a more fulfilling life
perspective is an amazing thing, and there are many times when I have had to stop and take a good look at the “big picture ” it is all part of living in a world where it is more and more apparent that we are in fact more interconnected than I can fully appreciate. one of the most difficult times in my life, I struggled to gather empathy and compassion for myself and others and see that really my pain was not so much different, if less significant than most trying...

all kindness…. but particularly, the kindness that instinctively is mine to give….
it means I am one small little part of the cosmic plan, no better , no worse than any living/ breathing entity on Earth, everything is interdependent and this is indeed humbling
I love that time and space have so many dimensions….. so the moments really matter but the clock is what is reality in this world and I straddle the two in an attempt to make life full and meaningful….after all the truth is becoming clearer- there only exists time and space and that very “big ” space with its moments is so…….. incredibly magical….
Enjoy! : )
Thank- you, Anna So good to be part of the gratefulness community.
KC, Nice….on so many levels, especially, The Great Mystery
Christina, Yes, we really do live in a culture that values extraversion! Human attributes are beautiful in so many ways, Gina
that is my hope and this community helps so much with that perspective, for I am forever seeking that through gratefulness….. Thanks , Antoinette
I think for me , Antoinette, that is the key, that if I choose I can be connected to this amazing source of truth, of pure love at any moment- that as Greg pointed out is a miracle….and my spiritual salvation!
KC, Thank-you, courage,gentleness and joy are all what my heart yearns, Wishing you all your heart yearns, Gina❤️
