A strand of pearls... each pearl something i’m grateful for

[Changing4Best]

My pearl today is that even though there is ice and snow, transit is down and not operating, I have a ride to therapy today. Now I just hope my therapist can be there! I will call ahead and see, before calling my person who has promised a ride to me. Life is good!

my pearl today is letting go of someone I tried to help the last few months but is in serious denial

I thought this person was a friend for 2 years but they are not and never will be

I am not wasting my energy anymore on them and that is a huge positive

it has helped me to learn a lot and I will be quicker in future to cut such people out of my life again

everyone thinks they are stupid but I didn't agree until now

i'll be glad to have more free time and energy to give to people who deserve it

My pearl is gratitude for the pleasure I get from reading about your pearls, friends. Thank you so much for sharing them!

Even though the schools are closed, and transit is down, my therapist is in and it looks like I have a ride there too. So relieved. Snow days have closed almost everything for the last week, because when it has snowed, country closes down and it governs a lot of the things my life depends upon.

I've got three more pearls for my strand.

First, I just cut my finger on the table saw. Barely cut it. Lost some skin and blood, but I could have lost my whole finger, or worse! I'm shaking my head at my good fortune.

Second, I had to get a tetanus shot last year when I cut myself with the angle grinder, so I'm safe !

Third (and best), I couldn't sleep last night, so I sat outside for a bit, enjoying the silence and the stars, and an unfamiliar feeling came over me. A really warm and calm feeling, completely unadulterated, that I think was happiness! I swear, if I die tomorrow, I will die satisfied.

What a beautiful thing to read first thing in this very early morning. And especially knowing it is you who is finally, finally, feeling happiness. It is a beautiful experience, and one we cherish, because there is more to come... and I hope for you, as when it happens for me, it's brand new all over again, each time... we don't do all this work to not experience happiness and joy at being alive and looking at the stars...

And I am grateful for YOU, and that you have all your little fingers to let us know of your beautiful experience... Love ya Cap'n.... you are one of a kind, and very special. Gentle hugs.

My strand is nearly complete. Friends, tribe, you've gifted me with riches that I couldn't have imagined.

Over the past two years, you've given me friendship, acceptance, understanding, love, communion, respect. Family. You've given me things I didn't believe I would ever find in this lifetime. I give you my gratitude, respect, and my deepest love.

Thank you all.

I can't bear to see good people hurt and bullied
