Michele,
Did you see the picture of the deer in the snow with Saturday’s word of the day? It made me think of your animals. How are your outdoor animals doing?

Dear Ose,
So that you don’t miss it, I have responded to your most recent post.
Mary

Thank you Palm. 💕

Thank you Pilgrim. Your word bring tears to my eyes.
Mary

Dear Michele
This is so beautiful!
Do you know where I could get a copy of this image?
I can no longer make copies of anything in the
gratitude lounge.
If not, I could make my own image.
Either way this is so beautiful and inspiring!
Thank you for posting this
and helping me to refocus my perspective!
With love and appreciation for you Michele,
Mary

Dear Palm,
As time goes on, I am noticing how wonderful
it feels to know everyone here and to share with you.
I don’t know of anywhere else that I can speak so freely,
be accepted and received so warmly,
yet come and go as my needs and my schedule change.
As I have said before, this is the kindest group of people I know.
I am so grateful to have found you Palm, and each and every person
who come to this site.

Thank you Diane for sharing this beautiful prayer!

Dear Anna
This sounds very good.
I am happy for you and wish for your father
and your family many good years together.
I know cancer is so scary.
I wish you, your dad, and your whole family
A time of healing and the opportunity to grow closer.
Much love to you dear Anna💕
Mary

Dear Ose, I am so touched by your beautiful prayer.
Loved the wonder-full.
I will remember that.
Wonderful = full of wonder. Yes, I love that.
Please read your beautiful blessing to yourself.
I wish the same for you but could not have said it so beautifully.
You are such a treasure dear Ose.
May the angels watch tenderly over you as well.
Sending you my love,
Mary

Thank you, Diane. I don’t know what will be next. I can’t be sure what he will do. Michelle reminded me that my job is to take care of me.
Letting go is not my favorite thing to do.
But really after doing what I can do, letting go is always the best choice.
As I write it is time for me to go to bed.
Many blessings to you Diane and to all on this site.
Mary

How beautiful to read the full serenity prayer, Michele. Thank you. Taking care of me.
Oh that’s right (how do I keep forgetting that part?)
Thank you for the reminder. My self care has not been the best.
I remember, then I forget. Then I remember and then…
I may start doing Al Anon again.
Thank you for caring Michele!
Mary

Thank you Michele, and all my good friends for caring and for your concern.
I have come through a lot and just now I am feeling some relief.
Thank you again Michele and everyone here for your goodness and kindness,
It is a comfort and a joy to be part of such a beautiful and loving group.

Thank you Anna. I flew across the country to Arizona to spend family week at the in patient center. The mountains were like none I have seen before, so steep and rocky.
It almost looked like another planet to this Florida girl. Quite amazing!
Much love to you!
Mary

Thank you, Alicia. I am praying for you and your husband as well.
Sending you love,
Mary

And much love to you Ursula!
I love your spring flower icon.
Mary

A vow not to burn out. How wonderful! We really owe that to ourselves, don’t we!
Thank you for the encouragement Sylvie.
Mary

I think you take after your Mom, Sylvie!
