I hope for renewed commitment to each other and to democracy for my country, and for this I understand that we all have a role to play, to reach out with compassion to our neighbors, to others who may share different views, and who need us.

I hope for renewed commitment to each other and to democracy for my country, and for this I understand that we all have a role to play, to reach out with compassion to our neighbors, to others who may share different views, and who need us. I long for a healed planet and climate, and here also I accept that I have a duty to not just sit on the sidelines hoping for things to turn out. I wish for healing to come to my friends here. I am thinking of you. And personally, I want a big, freakin’ vegetable garden! Maybe this year the voles won’t get my sweet potatoes! 😀 Read More5 Reply devy2 months agodevyJust watched the inauguration on tv.

I hope that we can restore dignity to our country. I hope that I can learn to be more content with myself. I hope that I can continue to explore, learn, and love. 7 Reply Holly in Ohio2 months agoHolly in Ohio“…that I can learn to be more content with myself.” I don’t know you well, Lauryn, but I see you as a light and look forward to reading your entries. You are kind and gentle. As is with everyone, you don’t need to be perfect, or even need to be better than you are now, to be deserving of love, respect, and deserving of self-contentment. If you give kindness to yourself as I have seen you send towards others, I’m sure you will find your way to contentment. 2 Reply Ose2 months agoOseFor the world, as so many here, it is peace, and enough food and water for the starving and the thirsty fellow people. And may the pandemic subside. For myself I hope and will be grateful for whatever I may contribute of which might serve the community and friends and loved ones. And , if I may add, in order be able to really support peace and contribute to stop hurting, to overcome my fatal reactions to the fear of being left out. 5 Reply Linda2 months agoLindaA return to civility and respect in all our interactions, nationally and individually. 6 Reply Javier Visionquest2 months agoJavier VisionquestThe cure for type 1 diabetes is revealed. 6 Reply pkr2 months agopkrPeace. 7 Reply Katrina2 months agoKatrinaI've been away for awhile - away from Gratefulness.org. I was so weary, of everything. I still am. Weary of the hurt, the pain, the fear, the anger, the same old, same old. My gratitudes and the questions had become repetitive, hopes and longings had come to a halt. And today, though, a day of new beginnings, I feel nothing has changed - except the growing mountain of death, sickness, destruction, frustration and assaults on humanity and humility. So I am searching. I have prayed, I have worked ...I’ve been away for awhile – away from Gratefulness.org. I was so weary, of everything. I still am. Weary of the hurt, the pain, the fear, the anger, the same old, same old. My gratitudes and the questions had become repetitive, hopes and longings had come to a halt. And today, though, a day of new beginnings, I feel nothing has changed – except the growing mountain of death, sickness, destruction, frustration and assaults on humanity and humility. So I am searching. I have prayed, I have worked puzzles, I have baked, I have cleaned, I have attempted new hobbies, I have watched Netflix, and I have tried to be kind and to serve others. Now all I know to do it to quit, and to be still and know that God is God. Thanks for a place to vent.

I’ll add humor and exercise to the wonderful list you give.

I wish that I could be optimistic and full of hope that I will make a full recovery. I wish for a simple walk with my friend, the Labrador, Sammy. I hope that people see others as they are and in a way that brings us together as friends, lovers, and family. 7 Reply Papilio2 months agoPapilioPeace for our nation and whole world as well as inner peace for myself. 5 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.
