Solstice Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I am grateful that, in the midst of great personal pain, I was able to gain a small moment of clarity in which I understood that I am not to blame for all of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomperson Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hey everyone! Just wanted to say hi I'm actually doing very well!! So many stories so much time has passed.Never forgot about this place.. helped me soo very much. Have not been on in ages don't have much time to check things or be on anymore.. but I still think about people here. Hoping you all are doing well.I'm better now.. really better not just saying it.. have been for a bit! Lot of us just need time to heal deep pains.. and all those lessons I talked about before.. they were true.. just took a bit longer than I thought.Biggest insight.. the things I thought I wanted and needed to feel happy.. to feel complete.. really wasn't it at all haha.Relationships wasn't it, nor was work. My true peace came from a few things.. not giving up on the helpful things, working on getting better.. finding a break in life where things eased up and gave me a chance to heal.. My faith .. and finding solutions to things I deep down felt trapped me. So deep I didn't understand or see it myself even in here.Not sure when or if I'll have a chance to check back.. just wanted to say hi.. and let you all know how much your friendships mean to me and how I never forget the lessons I learned here!! This site and everyone on it are such blessings to people hurting so deeply words can't describe the pain. LaLa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrmaJean Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I am grateful for family and friends. I am grateful for the love in my heart and my willingness to share it. I am grateful for the comfort of the familiarity of a loved one. I am grateful for my job. I am grateful for my dog. I am grateful for the little things in life: the scent of soggy, thawing ground in early spring, the feel of soft sand as it squashes between my toes on the beach, the taste of melted hot fudge, the sight of the first blossom after a long winter, and the sounds of undisturbed nature. I am grateful for my ability to sense and take in so much around me. I am grateful that I feel strong and secure enough now to express my positive feelings openly out on the main boards. I wish everyone peace and healing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Even though I got a lot of emotional issues going on right now;I'm grateful that don't have to deal certain things that other do, unfortunately have to deal. I don't lose sight anymore of the fact that there are people worse off then me while not denying that I still my own problems that I need to deal with.I'm grateful that I got the chance for a fresh start at life, even though it is a rocky one. I don't take the the take the things I have in my new life now for granted even though I still get lost in my problems some days because I'll be damned if I go back to that hell again.In an extremely twisted way I've come be grateful for my bad childhood. I can now appreciate the small things in life that I was cheated out of growing up(even though I am still bitter to an extent) that so many people, who are blessed to have had stable lives, take for granted.I'm grateful that I have a laid back and forgiving mother who doesn't hold grudges(because God knows I've lashed out on her so many times on my "bad days") because most parents around here are strict, would kick their kids out of the house after 18(rough economy or not), and/or dump their unstable kids into a hospital for being "too difficult".

Guest ChinaDoll Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I think this thread is a wonderful idea and so I will join in the enlightenment that it will bring. Sometimes, we need to produce a little sunshine ourselves. And I say this mostly to myself but if it helps other people as well then that would be good.I don't know what I am alive for yet but I am grateful that I know what question to ask. I am grateful for the chance of a brand new beginning.I am grateful for the support I find here. LaLa and Victimorthecrime 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimorthecrime Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Grateful for my health, employment, my home, an intellect & energy level that is so far adequate to get things done in daily life; grateful for the internet, cable TV, my local public library. I am grateful for the 10 months out of the year that are not January & February; grateful for my car, good food, a few beers at home on Saturday night and sweating it all out on a Sunday walk and for the few decent people still left in America.

Guest ChinaDoll Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Today, I am grateful for waking up, for the people who support me, for having the basic necessities, for the company of people, for being a person capable of many things, for the future, for the capacity to love and support others even if its just in small ways for now. I am grateful for the little luxuries I have; gadgets that still work, the net that keeps me connected with people I cherish though they may not be beside me, kind netizens who give their time and energy to reach out to those who need strength and support.
