The Grateful Thread

Grateful that I can feel what I feel, whether its pain or joy.

Grateful for medical technology.

for my new job starting tomorrow so i can help even more people

I am grateful that I have finally learned to leave off myself for not reading any philosophy, or spiritual books, etc etc. My day to happiness is more important than stuffing information into my head, and I'm grateful I'm being able to do that.

For the members who teach me daily with their conversation

I am thankful for access to good drinking water.

For the occasional painful reminder about some things...

In light of many recent conversations I've had in the forum, I'm grateful for OB1Shinobi, MadHatter, Adi, JamieStick, Lightstrider and many others who consistently challenge my way of thinking or introduce me to a different perspective. The same goes for my Apprentice siblings Leah, Atticus and Goken and our Master tzb. Even if we never come to an agreement on some things, we always agree to keep learning from each other. I'm grateful for that.

I am thankful for receiving the Iron Arm status in gong fu at class last night! I have a gong fu warrior name!

Da sheng zi tie bi! (Big Victor the Iron Arm!)

I have friends in both Louisiana and California who just lost everything they have, im grateful to still have a roof over my shoulders...
