&lt;p&gt;      Hallo dear friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am Alluvja and and new to this pod. I thought it is a New Year, a good beginning to share and express&amp;nbsp;gratitude here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to express gratitude for a special evening, the first New Years Eve ever, I spent alone for the greatest part. An evening without the partying and all that stuff. &amp;nbsp;A time for reflection, meditation,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;letting go and embracing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am also grateful for the time spent at (4 am!) outside with my neighbour- friends sitting around the fire,sharing thoughts and emotions as well as silence and letting up a lighted balloon with our wishes/intentions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAPPY NEW YEAR&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;img src="http://webzoom.freewebs.com/janetenco/oud-en-nieuw/gelukkig-nieuwjaar-2.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="293" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I&amp;#39;m grateful for another journey around the sun. I&amp;#39;m grateful for the constant reminder that life continues. And I&amp;#39;m grateful for Shirley, our gratitude cultivator:-) &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I am grateful for the power of repentence and forgiveness and for the capacity to feel and sense that overwhelming release in my own life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am grateful to have finished cutting out the new pajamas I&amp;#39;m making for Summer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am grateful for the wonder of a new day.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      i am grateful for this moment, that lends itself to a focus on gratitude, yours and mine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the moments to come here might be less than before, but still just as powerful and meaningful and for that i feel gratitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thank you for being here and for the gratitude adjustments that this space offers!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I am grateful for the little old lady who lives in the neigborhood, a good old soul who I need to go visit more often. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m grateful for the beautiful weather.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I am grateful that my brother has gone to visit his friend and granddaughter for a few days so that I have some peace and quiet and time to collect my thoughts and make my own plans, uninterrupted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am grateful for the warmth of the smile that draws up the corners of my mouth as I write this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am grateful for joy and peace and freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am grateful that I had a good visit with my mother yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am grateful for the new friend I made yesterday.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      While yesterday it annoyed me that I have so little work at work these days due to procrastination and sloth on the part of others, because I know it means more work for me later, today I&amp;#39;ve decided to be grateful for it and seize the opportunity to get some personal things done during work time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m grateful for a sunny day that promises to be good for walking dogs and taking a bike ride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m grateful for the time and peace to reconnect with others.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I am grateful that God got through to me with words of encouragement and love today even though I&amp;#39;ve been in a very down and snarly mood for a couple of days. I am grateful for God&amp;#39;s grace. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Today I&amp;#39;m grateful for the warmth and softness of blankets during cold nights, for the delicious tastes of fruit juices, and for the power of well-written stories. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a joyful day, as always,&lt;br /&gt;Jenna&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I&amp;#39;m grateful for my new bike. It&amp;#39;s a great source of exercise and makes me feel like a kid again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m grateful for help with some simple things today that have made a big difference: putting up porch blinds and fixing a cabinet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m grateful for more time with my love.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
