What Moved You Emotionally Today?

Day 4

I am more than my circumstances: my on-line friends will help me build during these rough seasons.

I am learning that sometimes, good things become clearer with patience, the right outlook and special friends.


Inspired by and grateful for such friends and this site.

Day 3: moved to feel inspired by watching a commercial to support service dogs for vets.

Day 4: moved by the matching challenge to support this site and seeing each other spur each other on.

Day 5
Agreeing with @Justmehere

Positive emotion: awe

- to watch so many members become part of a collective change that the momentum took a life of it's own.
We became stronger together. A concert of hope and aspirations within the leadership of hearts.

Day 4 Felt moved by progress in my life.
Feel amazed at the jump in the amount for the server project!
Felt lucky when B expressed some support for me.

I was moved yesterday morning as I walked around the garden. Really did feel like spring time is so close now. I love the anticipation of a new season, the beginning of something new.
I was moved this morning by a young child who looked at me being unsure, and took a step back. I smiled at her and said " hello, I'm S" ..she took a step forward and with a huge smile, that would light up a room said " hello I'm Kelly, and I'm 5" ....holding up 4 fingers.

Day 5: Got some very good news about a friend's lab results. I felt ecstatic to hear the excited and happy tone in her voice, glad I was there to take the call and relieved and very happy for her and her family.

Day 5: A colleague was searching his golden thread in his cases - because he has so many and also very complicate ones. In German we call it "roter Faden" (red thread), so I brought him a piece of red thread today. :p ....he pinned the thread on his pinboard where he can see it all the time. I expected it to be a little joke and didn't imagine him to keep the thread. :D

Day 5: I was reading a novel and some parts of it were those that I could bury my sorrows in, others were not distracting enough. I worry too much about how I will be provided for in the future. I live on Government support for the aged and disabled, live in housing for the same and our government is not that stable. I probably cannot count on my family, what is left of it anyway, to support me, should the government fail to continue to support me. The political party that is in power in congress is not the one that holds the presidency at this time, one is in favor of benefits for the elderly and poor and the other is not so much so, to my way of thinking. However, I am not up on all the latest news, I don't even own a TV! Long story short, I worry too much about the future, but instead should be leaving it in God's hands. Worrying is just not helping me to get anywhere healthy, but I cannot stop myself from worrying, unless I can bury my mind into something, but nothing of that nature buries my worries well enough....

Day 5: moved by two children I saw whilst at work. The first was a baby gurgling away happily, the second a little boy who helped me pick up a box of biscuits I dropped, even after I told him not to.

Day 6 I was moved to hear Papa Bear discuss with a carer, in a positive way, that he is fine physically, but he has problems with his brain, and he gathers that that is dementia? So he says so things are in my brain but he can't get them out. The carer said so that is frustrating. He was telling the carer that he never gets out of the house. Despite going out yesterday twice, for a drive the day before, day respite two days a week. Once a party animal always a party animal!

I smiled at her and said " hello, I'm S" ..she took a step forward and with a huge smile

Something wonderful happened to me yesterday, and the beautiful gift you shared made me want to share this....
I don't know how many people here know that I love lizards, frogs, fish, etc...that sort of thing! Yesterday I saw a lizard in our apartment complex. (I had seen him/her before, and thinking it was sick at the time because it didn't move when I came near, I picked a little flower and placed it in front of it.)
Yesterday I saw the lizard again, blocking my path! It was about 5" long, with a 6" tail. I don't know what inspired me to do it, but I reached down and it let me pick it up. I held it in my hand for between 5 and 7 minutes. I looked at it closely, seeing the small vent where it could breathe, and it's little red eye. (It only blinked Once in this time.) I told the little thing my problems. I told it, with tears, how I was so sad and lonely. I know I could have kept it in my hand as long as I wanted, as it showed no stress, but once I thought of keeping it as my 'pet' and let it come on my shirt, it immediatelly looked for a way out! Through the crook of my arm and onto the ground and into his wonderful hiddenness where he could live in peace and happiness and find food.
***It was a gift from God because I know lizards, and this was not a young one who was ignorant about what to watch out for yet. This was a 11" lizard who had been around and stayed alive because of it's carefulness. But...God let me hold it because I was so, so very sad...and I am grateful, and will Never forget that wonderful gift.
