Lee Anne10 months agoLee AnneI had polio as a child and became a professional dancer because of it. I was healed. I had epilepsy, too, and was healed. My mother had blood poisoning when I was in her womb. It was a miracle I was born especially since she aborted my twin sister not knowing there were two of us. Yet I was born whole and healthy. I carry a propensity for alcoholism, but I drink no more.

I was healed. I had epilepsy, too, and was healed. My mother had blood poisoning when I was in her womb.

My aches and pains from dance injuries and a wound on my brain from the attempted abortion create challenges for my 78-year-old body. But, I am grateful for every one of them. I can walk, bend, stretch, choosing to write my books and paint my paintings and listen to the woes of others instead of focusing on my pain. Every fiber of my being is grateful every day for I was given the blessing of life. 🤗🌺🌸 Read More17 Reply pkr10 months agopkrLee Anne, thank you for sharing.

I am thankful for a pause 7 Reply sunnypatti10 months agosunnypattiIt’s a hard to describe feeling of lightness. Lightness physically as well as spiritually. It’s like experiencing or witnessing a miracle. Whether it be my body being physically tired from whatever I’ve just done (surfing, yoga, walking, gardening/yardwork), or just “being.” Like when I’m meditating or in savasana at the end of a yoga practice. It just feels good! And the last time I felt this? Yesterday while surfing, and again this morning while meditating 🙂 6 Reply Patricia10 months agoPatriciaI’ve been thinking of you, sunnypatti, as I watch the news about the oil spill in CA, and I wondered if this was near to you. My heart breaks for the ocean, the birds and fish and for the short-sightedness of humanity. 4 Reply sunnypatti10 months agosunnypattiThe oil spill is upsetting to me, too. While I’m in South Carolina (good call, Michele!), it breaks my heart as well, and I hope it can be cleaned up despite the damage already done. 1 Reply Patricia10 months agoPatriciaMy apologies for locating you on the wrong coast, sunnypatti ! 1 Reply Michele10 months agoMicheleShe lives in one of the Carolinas, I believe South Carolina:) 2 Reply Patricia10 months agoPatriciaOoops! 3 Reply Holly in Ohio10 months agoHolly in OhioMine, too. 🐟🐟🐟🐬🐳🐋🐠🐡🦞🦀💙 3 Reply Kevin10 months agoKevinFor me, this is a multilayered question because it depends on which parts of my body I am focusing. Overall, I am grateful to be alive and to be able to continue to feel my way through every living day. But as a person coping with severe lower back pain (bilateral S.I. Joint dysfunction) it’s sometimes very difficult to feel much else besides nagging and at times debilitating pain. 9 Reply Christine10 months agoChristineOh, yes I can feel that. But describe? It is almost impossible. Every morning I wake up with a grateful feeling because of the good sleep I had and because of the new day ahead. I feel my breath. Maybe I can describe it as “happy and healthy breathing”. 13 Reply « Previous 1 2 My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
