The Gratitude Chain

My hope for this place is that it will present the opportunity for each person interested to share a written expression of gratitude during the course of each day.

My vision is that in this space, we will embrace the positives and the gifts that touch us daily, as we acknowledge them in the presence of others who

Thanks for starting a new thread here, Ohmsmom :)

I appreciate my wisdom in resting when I'm feeling cranky or in the doldrums.

I appreciate my practical side which eventually kicks in after a period of brooding and says, “so what are you going to DO about it?” or “how about acting instead of thinking–just for a change of pace.”

Thanks Ohmsmom for starting the new thread.

Today I appreciate being able to be strong for my 12 year old son while he was upset about his older brother leaving home for University far away.

I appreciate being able to encourage my sons to express their emotions freely

Re: the appreciation game continued............

Yesterday I appreciated  holding in my tears as I helped to move my son to a University many miles away from home. I am grateful that I was able to be smiling & happy for him as we experienced the excitement of all the newness the day held. 

Today I appreciate taking a day off from life outside my home so I can  both allow myself to feel & also to work upon 'letting go' of my sadness, loneliness & worries I have for him. I will be using EFT techniques & affirmations.

I feel like Im letting my soul mate go for his greater good…may seem overly dramatic but we have been very close…we share the same quirky sense of humour where we just 'get ' eachother in ways others do not, we love the same music & films, we had that rare kind of fluid energy between us so that we could occupy the same space in blissful silence yet togetherness.
 
My son has been my major adult company for the last 5 years after my partner left when he found himself unable to cope with my ill health. I appreciate the time has come for both my son & I to spread our wings & move on to new things. I deeply appreciate the healing love I have recieved from my son & now I choose to be strong for him as he steps into his new independent life.

I appreciate having found this space to express deep feelings such as these. I feel safe here. Thank you everyone.

Yesterday I appreciated my willingness to be fully open to receiving healing.

I begin today appreciating my new found openness to accepting help.
I see how my independent nature & childhood survival skills have served me up to this point in my life & I bless them & thank them.
But I recognise that I must let them go, along with the false notion that I am separate, if I am to fully heal. I am working on opening my heart chakra & bringing into my consciousness the truth that we are all one.
