But the ones that stand out comes from the past are my parent’s, imperfect as they were, and dealing with their own demons. They are gone from this place, but I still hear the finer lessons they taught, not through words, but remembering their actions. Kindness and caring and service to others were what I witnessed and heard.

But the ones that stand out comes from the past are my parent’s, imperfect as they were, and dealing with their own demons. They are gone from this place, but I still hear the finer lessons they taught, not through words, but remembering their actions. Kindness and caring and service to others were what I witnessed and heard. Mom in particular, a school nurse, had a gentle way to address injustices and fueled my fire as a social worker. They were not stellar at parenting, but I have long since moved past that part, knowing they did the best they could at the time. Being a parent myself to three wonderful grown children, I, too, was imperfectly OK at this parenting thing. I miss being able to see them, but it sure is nice to have them with me in spirit.

In particular the idea that love is ever hopeful has remained with me as a kind of anchor, reminding myself continually change is possible. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it k...You know, despite not being religious now, the Bible … like there’s a lot I’ve walked away from in terms of the guidance found in there but what stuck with me is Corinthians 13:4-7. In particular the idea that love is ever hopeful has remained with me as a kind of anchor, reminding myself continually change is possible. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Agree with me in a respectful way using using honest direct language and I will listen. I appreciated Katrina’s writing today.

After desperately not being heard, I arrived at a difficult crossroad in my life journey. I was surprised with the realization that it was women of color who I had been listening to and sought direction from. I heard my voice say out loud ” I need some of that right now” and that is the voice I listened to. I will be forever grateful that, one in particular, listened to mine.

My grandmothers, so different from one another, who served as models in different ways. My mother. My dad, who was a private man but with whom I had a special bond. My daughters, two younger women of wisdom, funny and wise, from whom I learn and with whom I laugh. I am blessed. 6 Reply Melissa7 months agoMelissaI hear the voices of my grandmothers who have died but they loved unconditionally, laughed often, held us all close and cooked the most delicious homemade Italian meals every Sunday for years for a huge family of 22 cousins, aunts, uncles and grandkids. Never complained. Always were so kind, worked so hard all the days with care for all who came into their lives. 4 Reply Maggie7 months agoMaggieI am grateful for all the voices strong enough to stand up for what's right. The world wouldn't be what it is today if we didn't have these brave, courageous people. But in my everyday life, I'm most grateful for the voices of my loved ones. They are the most special people in my life and their voices give me such a sense of comfort. I'm thankful that I have a voice where I can talk to them and that I can hear them. I know that if the ability to hear was taken away from me, I would wish to hear ...I am grateful for all the voices strong enough to stand up for what’s right.

I know that if the ability to hear was taken away from me, I would wish to hear my mom’s voice again. Or my dad’s. Or my grandma’s. Or my best friend’s. Or my sister’s. The list goes on and on.

Personally we are safe and today the weather has shifted to fine. I am grateful for the media voices reporting information, the public officials communicating emergency procedures to the thousands affected, rescuers speaking words of relief to evacuees, everyone speaking intelligently about causes and solutions immediate and long term. 6 Reply Hermann-Josef7 months agoHermann-JosefAll the voices that reminded me of truth, made me seek truth and give me the strength to live truth even for a moment. 6 Reply Carol7 months agoCarol"Sticks and Stones can break my bones but words will never harm." So untrue! Just listen to the rhetoric, the character assassination, that abounds on social media today and you will know the power words have on the mind. Just talk to a child who's being bullied and you will see the heartache. Thankfully, I had a mentor who helped me work through the negative words that haunt me from childhood.

Just listen to the rhetoric, the character assassination, that abounds on social media today and you will know the power words have on the mind. Just talk to a child who’s being bullied and you will see the heartache. Thankfully, I had a mentor who helped me work through the negative words that haunt me from childhood. That said, they can still try to raise their voices and I have to remind myself that there is a part of me that has never been afraid. I can call its voice forth to calm the bully voice and comfort the little girl that the words harmed. We all have that voice that knows our worth and wants us to celebrate it.

Thank you. 3 Reply LisaBeth7 months agoLisaBethMy mom died 23 years ago but her voice is still in my thoughts almost daily. She was strong, smart, loving, and outspoken. Truly a woman ahead of her time. Now that I’m older I understand where she was coming from when she gave me so much advice! So often I wish we could just sit down and talk. 8 Reply 1 2 Next » 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.
