The Grateful Thread

Have been er... gently reminded to be grateful as well as ranty...

So here's what I'm grateful for today..

I am grateful for my six month old daughter's lesson. No matter how badly the days have been, it is fun to just growl and roar out loud together .

great stress relief!

Still ranty so another post here... I am grateful for gaming that lets me relax in a little fantasy world for a while.

I am grateful that I am allowed to study here and to be accompanied when I become 'unstable' I am grateful for Jedi that are willingly to perform actions that they do not like, but are necessary. I am grateful for those that take time for me and others.

I am grateful for what I have.
And grateful for the opportunity to make a difference.

I am grateful for friendly players on MMOs... It's nice to get a message from someone who doesn't a: want something from me b: want to sell me gold or c: is angry over something ridiculously unimportant and is therefore using swear words/trying to be offensive.

I am grateful I have been able to come back here so often. It really is hard for me to stay on task with something over so long a period. The idea that I'm still here, years later, THAT makes me very grateful indeed.

I am grateful that no matter how bad things seem you are there.
A calm place amidst the chaos, a part of me.
it means so much to have your support and love and I will always be grateful to you for allowing me to experience what love is with you.
I love you.

On a brighter note. Today is my birthday :laugh: 30 years old.... :dry: And I just discovered a bunch of the trees in our backyard are mulberry trees!! :woohoo:

Happy birthday.

I did not notice the A question.... topic. It should not matter, but I am grateful for finding the topic even if it is closed.

:S :huh: :dry: :blink: :woohoo: :side: :blush: .. ..

No one kills philosophers any more ...

Music makes everything easier... Even running in a corrugated metal gym with no aircon.

Vive la musique!

3rd time the Grateful Dead has come up in my weekend... one of my favorite bands. Definitely some of my favorite songs. Uncle john's Band (banned :silly: ) is always a good one

Rock Scully wrote a great biography of Garcia and the Dead. Worth the read.

Usually if something comes up 3 times it means that a message from spirit is trying to get across. That was what I said anyway when I was a teenager and I would be at a friend's smoking cones and having a drink.... if someone (mother/police/person who kept me with a skateboard) rang 3 times then I would stop to observe that moment and note how interesting it was

Echoing what Edan and others have said previously, I am grateful for the friends I've met at the Temple.

This community is made up of some of the kindest, most sincere and genuine, loving and caring individuals I've ever had the pleasure of spending time with. I appreciate everything each of you has offered me and am optimistic that the bonds we've created will remain strong and honest as time carries on.

To those with whom I've had misunderstandings in the past, I hope you will find it in you to move forward without resentment, and when thinking back on our time together remember the positive and joyful moments that we shared.

Many of you may not even realize the influence that you've had on my life or how your words and actions have changed me. Thank you from the deepest part of my heart. I will be forever grateful and appreciative of all of you and the friendships that we've built.

I am grateful to psychology for helping me understand children.
It sounds like such a silly thing but I've never been able to connect with or understand them. I may only be able to look at them now from a developmental point of view, but now I get why they do stuff which doesn't make me any better with them, but now I don't find them quite as strange.

It is nice to see that there is still kindness out there!! Just got back from a Taco Bell trip. The Cashier was so nice! Gave our girls a handful of pepermints and two free small slushies!

I was at a drive through yesterday and somebody bought my lunch! It was awesome.

I am grateful for every beat of my heart, and every breath I take, that keeps me floating through this wonderous, sometimes terrible universe. I am grateful that i got to be where I am now, and that I learned what I learned up until now. I am grateful for every moment here. Even the sad ones, in the end.

I am grateful for the existence of the universe. That was quite the trick! Or was it?
I am grateful for the laws of physics, here to remind us that we can't just do whatever the heck we please.
I am grateful for the infinite complexity. Without it, everything would be way less interesting.
I am grateful that I no longer see a difference between another person and my face in the mirror.
And finally, I am grateful for you, the reader, for reading it, and becoming part of my universe.

And when the needle skips, I won't say that it has been a dull ride.

My baby smiled and laughed at me endlessly today. Thanks for that, it made my day.
