I joined gratefulness.org on January 17, 10..I was having very very low/dark moments..Now, almost exactly two months later, I can say I've seen an improvement in myself because I am JUST NOW starting to see "hope" and "light". I'm so appreciative of the friends that have kept me afloat with their WORDS. I'm reading a book, again, that I bought four years ago..it is telling me exactly what I need at this point and time of my life. I am learning to live in the NOW and not be AFRAID. I'm able to see a flip side to all of the things I have endured up to this point..the waves of fear and doom are going out further and further..I am so grateful. I am so grateful for this website and the people that are reading this now and getting ready to post something. We are all connected. WE WILL MAKE IT. Peace feels so GOOD. :-)

I have rediscovered what now is. I start to learn to live in it now. I am now. I am greatful now. I live this truth now. Amen

I now surrender my fear of lack-of, to our angels. I surrender myself and my daughter to the great unknown through the powerful Universal love and light, asking for faith and courage to face what is to come, in love and appreciation. We are safe. We are loved. We are supported and protected. Food fills our fridge and nurtures her and my body. We are healthy, we are well. I am blessed to have such a beautiful daughter so fulled with love. We are safe. We are free from fear of where the next meal, heating, rent etc will come from. The lack of is a reminder to trust, to give thanks, to surrender.I am guided to find work available that serves our physical and highest selves. I am truly gratefullxx

I simply need patience to accept others as they are. Even more important, to rejoice in the differences that at times make me impatient and to embrace everyone for who they are.

Am doing the 90 days of peace practices of the Season of Nonviolence (from MLKing to Gandhi anniversaries 1/30-4/4 - google it,) then sharing with a fellow practicer. Today 2/9 is Contemplation. I've realized that to be at peace with my emotions (fear, sorrow, rage, joy, etc) is to accept them peacefully as ok to have, not try to not have them. Ok to act to change them but not think I'm bad or wrong to have/feel them. & take care how I express them, also peacefully. Love self & others.

I'd like to share words from a song I have written, "A Gift of Love." "As we live peace, then peace will grow, As we seek peace within ourselves the world will know the joy that friendship shares, the hope forgiveness bears, the gift of peace within each heart. As we give love, then love will grow, As we find love deep in our hearts, the world will know the joy that love can bring, the song that love can sing, The gift of love within each heart. One heart, one world, one song to rise and reach the stars." This wonderful site has inspired me to keep these thoughts alive in my heart. The messages from others give me courage.

May my actions & words flow from a place of wisdom where peace and gratitude dwell. As challenges arise may I seek peace within and also reach out for help and support. May the well inside me be full and healthy so I may be of service ~ an instrument of peace. May I find a way to be of service to those who remain after suicide. There is grace enough for all ~ you are not alone. Peace with time ~ release the guilt and suffering ~ breathe in ~ love exhale ~ suffering melts

Today I release fear, fear of the future, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of judgment from others. I am open and receptive to loving confidence that guides me. Today I say yes to opportunity, prosperity, and all that is good. It is my prayer for all.
