Today I got the diagnosis of hemochromatosis. While it is a serious diagnosis, I am grateful that it has been caught early, before any serious damage has been done. I will follow the doctor’s advice and stay active in my treatment. I have so much to be grateful for… a beautiful, healthy family and a warm bed on which I lay my head. I will continue to stay grateful for my many blessings. 6 Reply Michele1 year agoMicheleI wish you the best of luck with your treatment. I remember during my early clinical rotations as a Medical Lab Technician student watching someone doing a therapeutic phlebotomy. You seem to have a nice positive attitude and again I wish you the best:) 1 Reply Sharon1 year agoSharonThank you so much for your message! It really made my day! I think that a positive attitude is so important for your well-being and I try to maintain that as much as possible. Sometimes it is hard, though. I hope that all goes well for you, too! 1 Reply Shell1 year agoShellI would like to cultivate: * a gratitude practice * a journaling practice * a cleaning routine * regularly attending hiking club and run club * clean eating 4 Reply Kelly1 year agoKellyShellan, thank you for sharing, this is right where I am too. I have just retired from teaching, and now I have to figure out how to be me, without external structure or a clear role. I too, will just start with basics. 0 Reply Ose1 year agoOseI don´t know if cultivating is the right term, but what I would like to go for is love, peace and understanding. In my little world, I will do so, as I always tried to in my life. Happy and grateful to be here with you. Have a good and cozy evening, you all out there.

I just was back east in hospice with my mother-in-law sitting by her side who died while my husband and his sister held her hands. She lived a great life. Even though I have studied all great writers and listened to talks from spiritual teachers around the world on death, the Bardo, heaven, etc. I still fear dying off on on in my life. 8 Reply Melanie G.1 year agoMelanie G.Melissa, I resonate with your desire and I appreciate that you have the courage to share this here.

Whenever I have had similar feelings in the past,it was more about being suddenly gone one day from this amazing distinct experience that's offered to me everyday in this lifetime rather than the death itself. It's because there is a deep need to live all the beautiful experiences before I sign off .

I think I’m making too many mistakes of that sort lately, in my haste and carelessness. 4 Reply pkr1 year agopkrI would like to cultivate more time for meditation.

More resources and more peacefulness and quiet in the world so mother Earth can heal. 6 Reply Linda1 year agoLindaPurpose. As I approach retirement, it is important to find new purpose for my existence. 7 Reply Kelly1 year agoKellyLinda, I have just retired from teaching for 30 years. It is a little different having to be you without that all consuming role. I am also struggling with putting my own schedule and being productive without that external routine and demands. I also have adult ADD, and that makes it so much harder to develop non-crisis routines for my day. Working from home has been a blessing, and it was really important for me to retire and heal a little, but it has its own challenges. Good luck, and may...Linda, I have just retired from teaching for 30 years. It is a little different having to be you without that all consuming role.

Truth as demonstrated in the words and actions of Joshua Immanuel the Christ. Happy Thanksgiving / Gratitude Day! (from Canada ) And every day! 6 Reply Ed1 year agoEdSlow, mindful, gratefully satisfied eating! 6 Reply Jim1 year agoJimAt this point in my life I think I would like to cultivate more understanding. There are so many areas of my life that I encounter on a daily basis that leave me to question why or how. I guess the real goal is to continually grow and learn from those around me and the world I live in. The lessons are endless. Some painful and some joyful but all can be meaningful if I allow them to be. Be well. 7 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.
