Be patient, kind and loving to all, include myself. Rest and strengthen and I will heal. 2 Reply Ose3 months agoOseThat there was unexpected help when there was an almost desperate need to solve a stupid problem on my computer two days ago. It took me almost a full night to try to solve it, when after a short nap, I received technical advice and some kind support to finish what needed to be done. So grateful for their being available to help so that finally the problem could be solved. 1 Reply Torie3 months agoTorieI express my highest self love when I allow myself to be fully open and vulnerable. 2 Reply Malag3 months agoMalagMostly I’m sensible about what I eat but sometimes, for some unaccountable reason, my body will ingest rubbish. 2 Reply ADP3 months agoADPI have learned that even when I try to open up to my spouse I continuously get shut down. He has to control the conversation and can't let me speak my mind at all. If I do participate it is minimal and dismissed. I value his opinion and heed to his advice, I just wish I could express myself more. He wants me to express gratitude for the things he does for me, but I find this very difficult to do. I need so much more emotionally from him it is hard to show gratitude for the other things he provid...I have learned that even when I try to open up to my spouse I continuously get shut down.

It’s Sunday now and I read the question for Sunday: “How can I honor my heart’s whisper before it becomes a shout?” It seems your heart is whispering something you need. You’re in my prayers as you discern how to care for yourself and your needs as well as be aware of your husband’s needs. Be kind to yourself. 5 Reply Don Jones3 months agoDon JonesNo so much a learning, but a reminder. Don’t assume anything. 4 Reply Elaine3 months agoElaineLearned again the power of music to heal, to uplift, to open hearts, to bring hope at a beautiful benefit concert for Ukraine. 3 Reply KC3 months agoKCLearning to love myself is a work in progress. Some days are easier than others. The invitation is always there. The tough bit is putting it into practice, while doing my best to love the people and world around me. Grateful for the this community, and a brand new day to show up and keep practicing! 🙂 6 Reply Ed Schulte3 months agoEd SchulteThe same principle I relearn and appreciate EVERY DAY which is “It is not sufficient to know things, because such a knowing is merely of words, meaning nothing. Spiritual growth results from the absorption and digestion, and putting into practice of the simple spiritual laws.” From the teachings of Both, ‘Researchers of Truth’ [ DASKALOS ] and ‘The White Eagle Lodge’ 5 Reply Linda3 months agoLindaI have learned that I can’t do everything that I think I should do. I have boundaries and I need to respect them. 5 Reply Charlie T3 months agoCharlie TYesterday I got to practice being thoughtful about what comes out of my mouth when I’m with people. It was good to be present and have some control. It felt like a little victory. 8 Reply Barb C3 months agoBarb CThings learned--I feel as if every one of my days has lessons if I pay attention and this is a reminder to do that. Partial list for Friday: Planning to take a day off when our state budget is being finalized doesn't actually work out (because my job includes analyzing its effects on the program I run), but that's okay. A partial day off with a mix of work and non-work can feel very balanced. Making a point of scheduling coffee and a walk with a friend is always a good idea. My younger ...Things learned–I feel as if every one of my days has lessons if I pay attention and this is a reminder to do that.

My younger daughter the peacemaker proposing mediation in a confrontational/adversarial legal scenario (problems with her dad’s estate and an extended family member, has already gone to court) seemed like a non-starter but maybe isn’t, if the other party will consider it. It’s worth asking. Not a new lesson, just reinforcement: Popcorn for dinner is delicious and a completely valid choice.

C’mon Spring! 3 Reply Mica3 months agoMicaSan Marzanos plants – ooh, pepper tomatoes – Yum! I’ve learned something new. LED lights sound good – And they take so little energy. I’ve been running down the batteries that were too worn out for my bp monitor – I put them in a little device that shines a cycle of red, blue, green LED light on a glass thing sitting on it, and it has been weeks of intermittent use and the lights are still working. 2 Reply Javier Visionquest3 months agoJavier VisionquestI’ve never grown tomatoes from seeds so this is a new adventure for me, Mica. 2 Reply Mica3 months agoMicaThat is an adventure, Javier! I can’t remember if we got any edible food from the seeds in our compost – an avocado seedling is the only thing I’m certain of. 2 Reply Maeve3 months agoMaeveThat I feel increasingly like I belong in my school community. I can be at ease and speak my mind, contribute and be heard and respected by my colleagues. Maybe for the first time in my teaching career. It gives me a sense of confidence. A nice experience as I draw closer to the end of my teaching career. And maybe COVID brought us all closer together somehow. We weathered it together! 5 Reply Laura3 months agoLauraAll tasks seem to get done eventually whether or not I stress about it. I’m learning not to stress and fret. 4 Reply Mica3 months agoMicaYes, Laura, I’ve learned not to stress and fret about getting tasks done now in my old age – they all get done soon enough. May I Please learn not to stress and fret about other stuff!!! {{{hugs}}} 1 Reply Linda3 months agoLindaI like this, Laura! It is so true! 2 Reply Carol M3 months agoCarol MThat you are responsible for your own happiness you can’t rely on others for it 9 Reply Blossom3 months agoBlossomThis little heart of mine, I’m gonna let it shine let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. 2 Reply Carla3 months agoCarlaI learned it’s really ok to go to bed early on a Friday night. Early being 9:15 as my head bobbed down while reading. Listening to my body more is what is needed. 6 Reply Patricia3 months agoPatriciaI sat with a woman friend yesterday who is nearing the end of her life. I remembered again that love is stronger than death. 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.
