Nice to see this thread is still going. 

Today I am grateful for many things, but especially for not hosing my blog's database, and for getting a very nice shot of a bumblebee.

Great pic of the bumble bee Solomon, and good to hear from you again!

Today I am grateful for the opportunity to help my Sister sort her computer. It makes me so grateful for the help I get with mine and the patient teaching I've always had and still get.

Barbara, I'm thinking of you, and praying that all will go well for you.

Love to all, Jude

Today I am grateful for rest and allowing my thoughts/worries to quiet....Im grateful for my husband doing the dishes and laundry to help me. Im grateful for finding a prayer of comfort to send to Betty for Paul that expressed my heart...Im grateful for Jude and sending her positive encouragement....Im grateful for Solomons return and his gratitude web site is wonderful...I like the practice of gratitude is what your grateful for, me too...Im grateful for Eddas sharing her experiences down at the lakefront of our city. Im grateful for all the beautiful messages of support and comfort expressions for a gratitude family member at a time of spiritual transition and how they support those in need. I continue to pray for families in grief, those who need homes or have housing issues, financial issues, for abundance, for the ability to talk to God with ease, for those struggling with feelings , for those in need of support , for health and pain relief as my Mom would say pray for those in pain to sleep easily, for those struggling or enjoying relationships with spouses, soul mates, children, parents, grandparents, extended relatives and friends, I pray for those experiencing the terror of war or poverty, I shout Gods praises for the miracles he exends and may we lift our collective voices and conciousness to invoke miracles for those suffering. I prayfully implore God to relieve my fianancial limitations os that I may no longer be  a burden to my landlady who is being kind and not shamimg me....who is a widow and needs her sustenance I implore God to find me the areas to provide my trainings or a work schedule to have the flexibility I need to earn the funding I need.
Namaste
Barbara T

Today I am grateful to be able to do more computer sorting for my Sister I can now see the text With me at one end of a phone and my friend back home on the other, we are gradually improving things for her.

I am also grateful that my friend is missing me Bless him.

I'm grateful for good food, being waited on (nice for a change) and some good laughs.

It was nice too, to find a music CD in a charity shop which I've wanted for some time. I asked if they would take some money off it as it had a scratch on, and they let me have it for nothing. When played it was fine, so a bargain there!

A good day.

Jude

Today I am grateful that despite feeling overwhelmed , discouraged , and defeated I was able to verbalize, pray, meditate these feelings openly thus keeping the light line open.....Im going through
a rough process and need to accept stages will pass and pages will turn...just as I was at a moment of feeling so powerless to find answers for the finances for the dentist having been refused financing and not too successful in acquiring a payment plan I recalled a local university has a dental school as I went on the web they even have a school of oral surgery I will call and apply tomorrow.Please keep me in prayer I do believe in the power of collective prayer and the miracles it can bring
Im closing earlytonight and will add in prayers for all here and all concerns
Namaste

Dear Barbara, I join you in prayer that you may find the dental care you need and can afford. I am glad you can express your feelings so honestly in prayer, and feel supported by the prayers of your gratitude family.

Much love and warm hugs,

Welcome Mim ! I'm glad the forum is helpful to you. We are reminders for each other in this life.

Mim,
Welcome from me, too! I hope you´ll return here to share with us.

Solomon,
Thank you for stopping by! Seeing a bumblebee I was reminded of you today.

Tonight I am grateful for Life asserting itself against all odds. My neighbors, who live close by, let rooms to tourists. They have had a group of handicapped young people from Germany staying with them for a week now, and judging from their merry laughter they appear to be greatly enjoying themselves.

Walking home from town, I met an acquaintance, who is going to be 90 next month. She goes for a walk every day, and she spoke of her gratefulness for her good health, despite the ailments of old age. When I asked her how many grandchildren she had, she laughed, "I have 21 GREAT-grandchildren!" She herself is the only survivor of 11 siblings. I remembered how she had once told me that her father, who was disappointed at her being a girl, had not looked at her for weeks after she had been born.

Tonight I am grateful for peaceful knowledge that the Spirit of Wisdom so freely filled in the words of consolation, comfort, and honesty; for the gift of words that could bring some laughter in the midst of horrible pain for Paul's family, for the blessing of just being with him, gently holding his hand in comfort; for those moments when unresponsive to those of us physically present, he was obviously attempting to "talk" to someone he "saw", even with his eyes closed and a small grin would break across his pain etched face. I am especially grateful for the gift of faith that provides the knowledge that he will be in a much better place. I am grateful for all the prayers, candles and loving support of this family who has taken Paul and his family under your wings of prayer. Several times earlier in this ordeal, he asked that I tell you all thank youfor your prayers and support. May the Holy One raise him up on eagles wings and support and sustain and comfort Paul's family in their grief.
To all of you, I apologize for "dropping out" lately. Things have been a bit hectic. Thank you all for your prayers and candles for Paul and for not "dropping out" on them or me. Please continue your prayers for Paul and his family as his earthly life comes to an end.
Judy,welcome to the forum and Namaste to you. We hope that you will visit us often and help each of us remember all we have to be grateful for.
Solomon, I do apologize for taking so long to welcome you back. You have truly been missed. In spite of how I feel about bugs, your bee picture is beautiful. You have been sorely missed with your gentle reminders of gratitude for all the "little things". Each time I think of you, you remind me of gratitude for a warm cup of tea, a warm bath, etc., and so I am grateful for your return.
Marie,You and Melody have been thought of often this past week as she begins school. May it truly be a blessed experience for both of you.
Jude, it is so good to read how very special your family visit is. May it be blessed with abundant gifts of love for all of you.
Richard,prayers continue for Louise, may she experience complete healing and wholeness.
Edda, It is wonderful to read that once again you and Leon were able to go to the farmers market. These little outings sound like they are such a gift for you. I pray that they occur much more often and that you both are blessed with many such uplifting moments.
Barbara,the wings of prayer join you that a dentist might be quickly found. Blessings on you for sharing the white cotton cloud mountains setting sail in the endless blue sea of the sky. May your utilities and dentist problems quickly find their way to financial solutions.
Juliana,How very special of your neighbors renting rooms to handicapped tourists. Your neighbor's 21 GREAT grandchildren sound like she is very proud of them. What a sad memory from her father. It sounds like her heavenly Father has blessed her abundantly.
Lori,prayers continue for your retreat.

For those I have not mentioned specifically by name, know that all of you who have in the past, and all who currently post are remembered each day at Mass.

In the true meaning of "Namaste" I bow to the Holy One who so obviously lives in all of you. May you all be blessed a hundredfold as you have blessed others.

I'm sorry I haven't been in to post lately. I was very sick for two weeks and I'm starting to get back on my feet again. I did read almost all of the new posts. Welcome to our 'newbies'. And welcome back to those who haven't been here.
Sending prayers for Paul. Everyone is always in my daily prayers and I think of you often.
Much love and many blessings for all. Love, Lynn

Today I am grateful for Tomato Sandwich Spirituality on this website. It rekindled memories of all those warm summer days and running barefoot into the garden with a salt shaker and sitting and slurping a bright red, juicy, fresh tomato. Or, as the author suggests, making one of those incomparably yummy, drippy, messy wonderfully delicious tomato sandwiches on that "non-nutritious", mushy white bread. I am grateful for the Creator who knew their delight and so brought into being those luscious yummy fruits; for the gift of taste that brings one in contact with the Divine who constantly sends out such simple moments of loving unity.
