Gratefulness
Gratefulness turns irritations into blessings.
My three grown up children are always there for me whenever I need emotional support or advice. They are such a huge blessing.
When I breathe mindfully and remember to simply Be.
Nearly 20 years ago I suddenly became bedbound, apart from a few occasional tottering steps. It was terrifying. I felt as if I was buried alive in one small room and I didn’t know how I could go on living like that. I had to learn to adapt to the situation but I still got very depressed. Then I learnt meditation. That was so helpful and calming to my overwrought nervous system but I still struggled mentally at times.

Nearly 20 years ago I suddenly became bedbound, apart from a few occasional tottering steps. It was terrifying. I felt as if I was buried alive in one small room and I didn’t know how I could go on living like that. I had to learn to adapt to the situation but I still got very depressed. Then I learnt meditation. That was so helpful and calming to my overwrought nervous system but I still struggled mentally at times. Four years ago my daughter introduced me to this website and it has transformed my life. I have found however difficult things get I can always find plenty to be grateful for and that keeps me in a calm, positive frame of mind. Gratefulness gives me the courage to keep going.
Dear friends, thank you for your lovely messages 😊❤️
For my life I wish I could have more energy so I could go out into the garden and do my crafting and writing again. But totally focusing on unattainable desires leads to disappointment and sadness so instead I work on acceptance and gratitude for what I have and what I still can do. For the world I wish for equality for all humans. That everyone’s needs may be met without eliteness or entitlement.
One more breath in this life experience.
I have learnt that I can cope with, and even enjoy, lots of different people coming to help me. Three months ago I had to change to a new care agency. In that time I have met 32 different care staff as opposed to the familiar 5 or 6 that I was used to. Having an illness that causes extreme fatigue and weakness I found it terribly stressful with so many people coming and going; but I have settled in and got to know most of them. They are all really kind and I now enjoy seeing different people...
I have learnt that I can cope with, and even enjoy, lots of different people coming to help me. Three months ago I had to change to a new care agency. In that time I have met 32 different care staff as opposed to the familiar 5 or 6 that I was used to. Having an illness that causes extreme fatigue and weakness I found it terribly stressful with so many people coming and going; but I have settled in and got to know most of them. They are all really kind and I now enjoy seeing different people and hearing their news and I have learnt to carefully pace myself so I don’t get overwhelmed.
I take a deep breath, let it out in a long slow sigh and centre myself in my body.
Me too, Carol, thanks for the reminder 😊
Karolina, I can imagine how anxious you feel. I do hope the surgery will be successful. And what a blessing that your son will be able to come and help care for his sister. Let us know how it all goes. 😊❤️
Haha Holly 😂 Well done on the jumper and well done for getting your amazingly handsome hubby to pose for you!!
Happy New Year Sandra, Anna, Holly and all looking in. Holly, I think Christmas cookies taste especially good in January! A lovely unexpected gift after all the hustle and bustle of the holidays must have been so welcomed by your neighbours 😊
Ha ha, Elaine 🤣 That’s great! Thankyou
Lovely to read your post, dear Ose. This is indeed a wonderful community to belong to 😊 New Year blessings to you 💖
I hope you had a lovely time at the lake house, Drew. Happy New Year 💖
Dear Holly, thank you so much for sharing this. It is beautiful and the poems are so poignant and still very relevant. I like to watch the fireworks on the Thames on TV every new year but these, too, have been cancelled again this year. Let us hope that at the end of this year we will be able to celebrate no longer fearing Covid. New year blessings to you, Holly, and all looking in 💖

What a wonderful story, Carol. Thank you so much for sharing 🥰 x
Thank you, Carol, I can relate to your post and your experiences. How wonderful it is when we can allow our vines to let go of clinging and instead feel our roots firm in Beingness 😊
That is so beautiful, Mica. The amount of work and hours put into that – Wow! Thank you for sharing ❤️
