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

I always said if I won the Lottery, I would die on the spot and never get to know what it felt like to have enough money.... crappy Karma I guess! Being poor is not easy:rolleyes:.... letting you know now... :D

@ladee thanks for the heads-up!

I'm grateful that I'm not too stubborn to recognize a life lesson when it slaps me in the face.

It's been a long time since I posted in this thread. It's been a long time since I last felt gratitude, but today, I'm grateful. I discovered that one can build *happiness* neural pathways. I'm feeling pretty grateful about that, since I've never understood how to be happy.

I've got two pearls to add to my string today, both of which were gifts given to me by people I love deeply.

The first one was a gift of unconditional love, something so rare, I've never seen it before, only heard talk of it as I've heard talk of unicorns and yetis.

The second was a gift of love, as well, but it came from a heart that's seen too much pain and betrayal to offer itself easily, and I'm so grateful to be one of the few who have earned it. This love I accept with deep respect and admiration.

I'm feeling joyful. What an incredible ending to a very difficult year.

I have found the place within me where my ego has no voice. I can't always access it, but knowing it's there gives me hope. I'm grateful for hope.

Hope is all there is that keeps me going sometimes. I have hope one day still, at this late stage in my life, that I will find true love.

Here is one for me to cherish. Tears from my therapist when he recognized the changes in me since our last appointment. I hadn't seen him since before I checked myself into the hospital, and I left there a very different person than the one who was admitted.

I'm so very grateful for my deeply caring and committed mental health team.

I had supper with a neighbor tonight. Do you know what our supper was? Brownies and milk. Giggles! We talked and talked. It was wonderful. You know, it is snowing outside. We didn't even mind that. We both think it will be pretty tomorrow.

I can't think of a better supper than brownies and milk! Especially if the brownies are still warm from the oven. Sounds like a beautiful evening. :)

Yes, brownies were fresh out of the oven, a bit too hot, but we chatted and then they were perfectly warm.

I had some brownies today too :D

But, my pearl has been finding someone I lost contact with because of my abusive ex, we haven't really spoken.. yet.. but we added each other on Instagram.. that's enough for me.. if it never becomes more I at least found her again after ten long years and get to see her fab photos now.. feels cathartic

I almost feel 24 again.. almost!
