A Grateful Place - express your gratitude here

[Frank]

Too often in my life, I have trivialized my gratitude.
Too often, I have put off stating my gratitude.
Time waits for no one, so I think it is high time I expressed my thankfulness
in a place where it can inspire someone else.
This is the place.
Feel free to express your gratitude in any form you want here.
I only ask that you be positive in nature, that is do not express your in-gratitude here.
I am grateful that CoachCreativeSpace allows me a place to do this.

This morning, I was feeling slightly off,
then I asked for help and got it.
Thank you, angels.

Hi Frank...this gratitude space is a great idea...it is so true for me also to trivialize or forget to be thankful. This morning was the same...I got up on the wrong side of the bed, until I remembered the divine part of my being!
Thank Spirit, for reminding me that "I am" means God is in me and with me!!!

Love Dabs

Thank you for sharing, Camille. That is exactly how I feel, we are Divine expressions.

Frank, in the grocery store parking lot, I had the opportunity of meeting a humongous old St. Bernard Doggie named ELvis. He was so gentle and friendly despite his amazing size! I was feeling like a kid, petting and talking to Elvis! So I am so grateful that I got to the store because meeting Elvis was one of the great high lights of my afternoon! Elvis is the kind of dog I can never forget! : )

He looked a lot like this:

AWESOME!

[Susan Hosken]

Camille, I am so glad you met Elvis the dog. I can still remember the first time I met a great Dane. He was my size and I thought he was magic.

Susan, were you small when you met the Dane? It must be incredibly magical to have a huge gentle doggie as a friend in younger years!

Hi Dabs,
That is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing that truth here ... it is something I so often forget!

[Camille]

Mo, whenever I remember that truth, my mood gets mellower. It is something that I need to practice in the am...to just wash all the yuck from my mind and feel the spirit energy running through the body! That confirms that I am more or at least different than how I habitually define myself in limited, worldly terms...it is a shedding of the all the erroneous definitions I carry, thoughts in mind that distract from the real spirit-self...even if the experience is just for a short time, it reinforces my faith!Ahh if only we could be more and more able to live in the freedom of spirit all day long without being distracted by maya!

[Maureen]

Dabs, yes -- wouldn't that be wonderful? I read somewhere recently that our thoughts are just like clouds that pass by ... that image really helps me when I get mired down in my thoughts. "They will pass" I tell myself. "They are not the real me." I am learning, bit by bit :-).

Hm, I seem to remember a beautiful haiku written by poetess Maureen this morn.
It moved me immensely. Maybe you could post it here, I think it's releveant.
Don't hold onto the thoughts, let them drift, wispy clouds, and then the rainbow
appears to dazzle our eyes.

[Maureen]

Aw, thanks Bev. I think you might be talking about the Flash-15 poem I wrote this morning. Here it is:

thoughts, like clouds, drift by
nothing but vapors.
as for me,
i am the sky.

[Beverly]

That's it Maureen,
I shall use it for my meditation today, just reading it
here soothes me. I am grateful for the beautiful words
you emit that help to heal others (me!).
