Gratefulness
A different perspective. An understanding.
I thank all my fellow travelers on this Gratitude site for sharing and caring and providing your thoughtful insight and experiences. A wonderful online support group and I thank each one of you.
Gratefulness reminds me that I have more than I deserve or need. It reminds me that things have worked out in the past even when I didn’t think it would. This gives me courage that that current situations can and will get better. Gratefulness is the doorway to courage.
I take such great care of everything. I’ve dropped my phone down maybe just twice in the past 5 years! All my things last forever. Strangely, I don’t take care of my body. I keep going like a machine that doesn’t have a stop button. I eat junk food, I don’t sleep enough. I recently realized that that I should be taking care of my body instead of material objects, as objects are easy to replace but parts of our body are not. This question is very timely at the start of the year. Time t...

I recently realized that that I should be taking care of my body instead of material objects, as objects are easy to replace but parts of our body are not. This question is very timely at the start of the year. Time to refocus and re-channel my attention and energies.
1. I am always unhappy with myself and always falling short of my own expectations. 2. I always have to-do lists in my head and don’t look forward to any of the to-do’s even the fun to-dos like facials, mani pedi etc. 3. I’m always worried about my 21 year old son and my aged parents.

1. I am always unhappy with myself and always falling short of my own expectations. 2. I always have to-do lists in my head and don’t look forward to any of the to-do’s even the fun to-dos like facials, mani pedi etc. 3. I’m always worried about my 21 year old son and my aged parents. I am very very very very very grateful for my life and everything and everyone I have. But I still feel stressed about things and I feel unhappy with myself, just myelf. I dont know how gratitude and fear and stress and being unhappy (with myself only) can all live in me at the same time. What I desire for myself? – to be at peace with myself and to be happy. What do I desire for the world – to be accepting of each other. I truly believe if every human accepted every other human there would be less pain, less conflict and more love and peace. Sorry for the long post and all advice is welcome 🙂
-By buying only what I need -Giving away things I don’t use or don’t like -Having more good old fashioned phone conversations instead of watsapp chats -By posting less on social media
I am waiting to find balance in my life and to find peace. I know this is attainable and if it is to be, it is up to me.
When I begin to think negatively, to pause, and replace it with a positive thought, or remind myself of something I am grateful for.
Love heals, love dissolves anger, love breaks down barriers, loves opens doors, love saves lives. Love creates. Love is the answer to everything.
My family. I slept for only 2 hours last night worrying about the well being of my son. All the fear and all the love in the world can be experienced through family.
Gratitude pulls us out of what isn’t and where we are, what is around us and the blessings we have… Gratefulness polishes away the awful tarnish and reveals our blessings… So well written Holly!
So right Holly!
Hi Kevin, So sorry to hear this and I hope things get better for you. I have degenerative disc disease in my lumbar spine and have back pain continually though nothing as bad as yours. I am 47 years and have had the pain since 44. I used to enjoy yoga for how light and airy my body felt. With the onset of back pain, no amount of yoga or stretching relieves it and the constant feeling of discomfort/pain is something I’m learning to live with. I will say a prayer especially for you today....
