Grateful for my 2 kids, 2 granddaughters, 2 brothers and their wives and step-families, granddog, friends, and Brother David
I can read “Coming to Wholeness: How to Awaken and Live with Ease (The Wholeness Work Book 1)” by Connirae Andreas – this book has totally changed a couple of my relationships for the much much better!

I will leave this happy site for inner work now and answer some of the 14[!] questions on ScienceLine that were emailed to us yesterday in our weekly email.
I realized recently that my daughter has been ‘making my day’ for her whole life, regardless of the ups and downs of our day-to-day relationship. I waited 25 yrs for her – first, before my 2nd brother was born when I was 10, and then before my son was born when I was 30. Both my brother and my son are awesome, and I never wanted them to be girls – not like 2 friends who dressed their baby sons in baby dresses and got photos of them taken in the dresses. But my last cha...
I realized recently that my daughter has been ‘making my day’ for her whole life, regardless of the ups and downs of our day-to-day relationship. I waited 25 yrs for her – first, before my 2nd brother was born when I was 10, and then before my son was born when I was 30. Both my brother and my son are awesome, and I never wanted them to be girls – not like 2 friends who dressed their baby sons in baby dresses and got photos of them taken in the dresses. But my last chance was before my 2nd and final child was born 4 yrs later, and no one in the family had had a daughter – and there she was! How can I fuss about the details of our relationship, when the wonderful thing is that I do finally have a wonderful woman in my family?
Grateful Greetings from California to Ann and Sylvie and all! It’s fun to know where you’re from – hugs to all, and now I’ll give myself a big one, for the practical purpose of stretching out my shoulders. [I have a selfish reason for my hugs to you all – it’s a reminder to me to give myself hugs..]
At night, when it is dark and I am silent, I notice whether the bathroom has a faint sewer smell, presumably from the bathtub drain.
How’s that for inspiration?!
To all of us, and especially those whose medical situations keep them from going far – a daily quote from the past:
When you can’t go far, you go deep. BR. DAVID STEINDL-RAST
To Ann and all – my son recommended a wonderful[!!] workbook for letting go of anxiousness and all sorts of distress. His coach recommended it to him, and I’m delighted and amazed at how it is helping me: Coming to Wholeness: How to Awaken and Live with Ease (The Wholeness Work Book 1) Connirae Andreas
It gives me a touch of anxiety – that I am not using this moment well!
Hooray for the wonderful Welcome! banner and thanks to the lounge participants and gratefulness staff who suggested and made the banner. Hugs to all!
Thank you, Jazzmina – I tend to donate to people-centered organizations, especially when I have some sort of close contact with the organization. Childhaven International in India has orphanages and other programs – a woman in my church wanted any gifts for her going-away party to go to them. There’s a fund honoring a woman physicist, Millie Dresselhaus, who is a hero of mine. I’ve donated to Direct Relief for a long time – they’re in my former home town o...
Thank you, Jazzmina – I tend to donate to people-centered organizations, especially when I have some sort of close contact with the organization. Childhaven International in India has orphanages and other programs – a woman in my church wanted any gifts for her going-away party to go to them. There’s a fund honoring a woman physicist, Millie Dresselhaus, who is a hero of mine. I’ve donated to Direct Relief for a long time – they’re in my former home town of Santa Barbara. But I give to other organizations, too.
That’s wonderful, Alicia – Brother David is such a gift to us all.
Thank you, Diane – My friend invited me to the ‘harvest fair’ at the near-by convention center next Friday, and I’m excited to go. My daughter lives even closer to it than I do.
As I told someone in the Gratitude Lounge, a yogi friend of ours said tinnitis was a continuous Om – a high-pitched Om in my case. I don’t know if he had tinnitis or not, but the message has stayed with me.
Me too – I suffered thru college calculus without ever getting in touch with any of my classmates for help!
Dear Ann – what good ideas! My young granddaughter got an award in school recently [a little piece of paper she brought home]. Her award, in the “Do their best” category, was for: “She asked for help!” She’s lucky to go to a school that gives such awards.
Thank you, Diane, for your post. My daughter and her husband recently tried to visit a craft fair near us, where they had once bought me a lovely gift, but it was closed on account of wind! [Such a minor comment on your warm and grateful post..]
I love your answer, Sarah!
Good plan, Ed!
Kevin – I just got a ‘gel memory foam seat cushion with massage’ today and am delighted with it thus far! My 2 other sit-bone cushions have been more or less disappointing.
