Silverbirch Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Sad from the news of Robin Williams death. RIP RW. Thank you for all the laughter, and for sharing yourself with the world. Yes, thank you Robin Williams. I am grateful for our beautiful nephew "A" who was born in emergency circumstances 17 years ago. He was premature and born without life signs. Doctors had stopped performing CPR when he then breathed on his own. He spent quite some time in intensive care and this tiny bundle really fought to survive. My sister did not know whether he would have any type of disability. Not only is he perfect, he is a really lovely young man. Link to comment
journeynow Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 A full belly, blueberry picking with a friend, loon calls, clean sheets dried in the sun and breeze. Sliver, glad to hear about your nephew! Link to comment
Silverbirch Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Oh yes, he's lovely! I was just thinking about going to a berry farm in the next few months. I used to live accross the road from a strawberry farm, and it was so cheap! Link to comment

mhowe Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 A Sunday afternoon swim as the beach is emptying. Grabbing a coffee at the local shop and having the girl behind the counter remember my name and my drink. Falling asleep to an old movie (Humphrey Bogart) next to my bf. Link to comment
faraday Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I can't believe I've never seen this journal. This is the best idea EVER. Right now, I'm terrible for being grateful that my daughter has a cold and had to stay home from daycare. I'm getting little girl cuddles Someone random calling me about a painting they want to buy. link removed....my bf is sad today...he's so homesick and he's has had a. Old for the last 2 weeks...and I just found something perfect to send him....Apple squares. That my daughter still believes in the magical. The tooth fairy came last night....and now she's quizzing me on how she can grow up to become a winter fairy. I love her innocence. For three days of rain. It brought out all the slugs in my garden, and my daughter and I spent a few hours out there collecting them. She said it was "the best fun she's ever had"...which made my day, despite the slugs.

Fudgie Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm having a difficult day so maybe this will help me. I'm thankful for my relatively good (current) health. I feel better than I have in years, so much energy. I forget how bad I used to feel sometimes, I need to remember that. I'm thankful for my living standards - I live pretty well despite not making much $$ at the moment. I'm thankful for having been born into a wonderful family. I love my family. I'm extremely thankful for a (very) special ENA member who has touched my heart and reached into the dark shell I've been living in, telling me that it's okay to come out, encouraging me to do better, be better...maybe the world around me isn't so dark after all. I'm on the right path. Link to comment
t1lersm0m1 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm grateful to ENA, for being a tool in my toolbelt on my road to growth. I'm grateful for having a job. I'm grateful for the opportunity to go to school and get my Bachelor's Degree. Link to comment
90_hour_sleep Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 1. where i live...as a whole...but mostly the people here. 2. places to live while i'm ''homeless''...again with the people here. generosity is inspiring and humbling. 3. JN's journal. helpful reminders when in a ''slump''... thanks JN Link to comment
t1lersm0m1 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 1. The nice roof over my head 2. The clean clothes on my back 3. The yummy food in my belly. I know I usually take these things for granted, but I am humble enough to know that not everyone enjoys these luxuries. Knowing that my basic needs are met is a huge blessing and something to be grateful for. Link to comment
journeynow Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 These heartwarming posts! (Aw, faraday, your daughter tugs at my heartstrings!!) Classic summer days. And nights. Link to comment
journeynow Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 when in a ''slump''... 'so right, 90_hour_sleep. I get stuck in a slump myself, and eventually my mind comes back to the idea of gratitude and choosing things to be grateful for. Finding small things makes it easy for me, I'll think of something I kind of like, recall how it brings a moment of pleasure, and the feeling of gratitude happens...how nice it is that this thing, whatever it is, even exists in this world. So nice.... Link to comment
