The purpose in a Gratituesday posting is to take a few moments ONE day a week - to recognize that in the midst of chaos, emotional turmoil, self-doubt - that we each have things to be grateful for.

Today I am grateful to be Free.

Yes Free.

Physically - I am grateful for the freedom to move about, go where I need, smell the wet earth, taste the snow. I am free.

I am Free emotionally from any aspect of xAP. I believe I am close to indifference. I have seen him because of various school related occasions, and I have no desire to see him, speak with him etc ... I have close to nothing but the sadness that remains reflecting on the hurt I was apart of creating.

I am Free.

Well I wasn't sure if I should post on this thread since you are thankful for silence :)

I do know what you mean, silence can be such a gift.

Hi Lolly!

Today I am grateful for art. I get create things for people for my job, but creating keeps me sane. It gives me another way to heal myself. It is always there for me.

I’m thankful for many things but most of all today I’m thankful for the continual opportunities in life to grow, change and learn. I’m also thankful for the ability to focus on experiencing all that this day has to offer.

Thank you for continuing to do this thread Lolly.

Much love and big hugs,

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.

Well, I am very grateful for our new Tweeners this month, and according to my calculations there is another one just about to cross the thresold in one more week. (Big secret but maybe some of you can guess.) :smileywink: If there are anymore January Tweeners that I may not know about, please send me a PM and give me a heads up. I would feel terrible if I forget anyone on their special day.....Oh..and potential Super Tweeners? Anyone about to hit the 6th month mark? Let me know so we can all celebrate your big day with you.

(((Hugs)))

PS: We were supposed to get snow mixed with rain last night and only got rain with above freezing temps. I am VERY grateful for that. :smileyhappy:
