I am grateful for the fact that I started singing when I woke up and for like hours I’m just so joyful today
I am grateful that today is my kiddos last day of school for Spring Break and we’ll have a blast together 💥
I do have something weighing heavy on my heart that I want to release because it just now happened well my son apologized to my toxic father and my father is ignoring him and it really saddens my son right now so it breaks my heart and he felt he had to get things out in the open by telling him how he hurts others in the house because my father treats people so badly ... but see my father is never wrong and will never change an inch of behavior and others suffer but he does not seem to ... thanks for listening.. right now as I type I overhear my son say something about a thing I did in the past that I can’t take back that is hurting him now and my heart aches so so badly right now...
No matter what is sad going on in life no matter what breaks your heart, look for the joy love peace within yourself ☀️ ❤️ ☮️ And spread it Keep on singing 🎶

Thanks for sharing your blessings and struggles. I am thankful for BS, Bicycling and Singing. Exercise from riding my bike helps me feel better emotionally and physically. It also has helped me to be able to sing better. I can hold some notes as long as some professional singer and have increased my vocal range. Singing karaoke is fun and allows me to express some of my feelings because of the lyrics and the melodies.I messed up terribly during a prolonged period of depression/anxiety and lost a good job, a nice job and most of all, my marriage and my relationships with my son and daughter. I have hope though. Even if we do not reconcile on earth, we will in heaven. I am working on writing an amends to all 3 of them. I am thankful to be alive after 4 suicide attempts in 2017 and 2018. I hope to be able to share with others by song and my story that life can get better and to never give up.
I love the wake up singing thing. I used to love singing aloud in the house but got out of the habit. It would be kind of hard since lockdown anyway as my son has online college with lots of tests. Singing can be a great outlet for emotions. My schoolgoing youngest daughter also starts Easter break today. I hope your family issues will resolve themselves. Think we all have those from time to time .I am grateful to have a loving husband who is also a great father.
I am grateful to be living in a scenic part of the country.
I am grateful to have 3 healthy adult children who are well-behaved and responsible - at least when out of home lol
I am grateful to be alive 'cause I'm not supposed to be. When I was 14 yrs old I had a nasty bike accident. It was touch & go for a time. When I woke up from my coma I had amnesia that took some time to clear up. Still fuzzy on some details. The right side of my face hit the pavement at about 40 mph. I had a scrape from eyebrow to jaw from nose to cheek on that side. My right sinus cavity collapsed & while you can't see it from the outside that cavity is no longer a cavity but a solid mass. The sinus headaches have troubled me ever since. I am now dyslexic & have short term memory loss & cognitive impairment. CI means that I process information differently. Sometimes I'm lightening fast in my thinking. Sometimes no matter how you explain it I will never get it. I can't count past 25. I can do math in my head but not on paper. I don't drive as I am narcoleptic. I am deaf in my right ear (nerve damage). No one knows where my pituitary gland is. Just an empty space where it should be. I forget what I'm saying midsentence. I lack focus. I see the world differently. It takes a lot of patience to be my friend. Feb 2, 2018 I was rushed to the hospital with a fever of 108. No lie. Believe me or not I know the truth. My lungs were filled with fluid & I had a lung capacity of 2%. I had an infection in one lung. I was given 3 days at most. Family was called in for the vigil. A priest was called in. I had nine (count 'em 9) ivs running. I was not given solid food for 2 wks & then had to pass a swallow test before they would give me pudding. I was in ICU for 6 wks then 2 wks in rehab home for 3 wks, back to hospital with sepsis. A common side effect of pneumonia. I went into anaphylactic shock from the antibiotics so I had to stay in hospital for 9 days. It took 2 yrs for my blood sugar to stabilize. I will always have trouble with fatigue & breathing although I am off O2 for some time now. I have hope that someday I will be much better.
Please do not pity me. Don't focus on the bad that happened. Please focus on the remarkable journey I have been on. There is nothing extraordinary about me. I am not special. It just was not my time yet. I focus on the good that came out of all that. And yes there was good. Plenty of good.
We are all a sum of our parts. The good, the bad, & the ugly. Life shapes us but we decide what shape we will take. Choose to be a survivor and not a victim.
Oh I'm sure it can be topped. I go to a support group for people with brain injuries. There is one young man who had been hiking in Oregon with his friends. They posed on the rim of a volcano for a group shot. Dirt gave way & Eric fell 1800 ft into the dormant volcano. It too them 22 hrs to helicopter in & rescue him. He's got his issues because of the injury but he keeps going. When I first heard his story I told him he won story of the century. He fell into a VOLCANO!!! There is no topping that one.
Hi Starrlight, I’m grateful I got my first haircut in 8 years yesterday & it looks & feels wonderful. I got 12 inches chopped off to donate to locks of love. A literal & figurative weight off my shoulders.😘Thank you for asking.
Haha I know right?! That’s great! Right now mine is getting ultra long and thick... maybe next summer I’ll do the same as you.
I'm Greatful for my dog, my health, my grandchildren and my friends. Seems like the last few years has given toxicity free reign to be more so than ever.
From politicians to the " average " person.
You can confront it. resist it, ignore it , let it drive you nuts. But it won't go away.
You can stay with it hoping it will pass. You can remove yourself from the situation or stay and deal with it.
I so love that for you ... light ⭐️, ❤️, is what life is all about ... ...well you know it’s sad when issues in the world get in the way like what we were discussing earlier that break our hearts but then our lights bring our hearts back to life
I’m super happy for you 🐬!!! 🥰 My day is going pretty awesome thanks! Just watched my little one fly a kite, came back from a walk and did some floor exercises. ❤️ ⭐️
Hey, thanks for sharing. I hope those issues are worked out between you and your son. I'm grateful that it's a new day, though I got up hella late. Yesterday I was not doing well at all, stuck in my mind for a long time. I like to see each day as a fresh opportunity to live well. Blessings 👍💕✨🙏
You’re Awesome! I know how stuck in the mind goes and it’s very hard to get out until it’s just time to be released from jail it seems. Yeah my son and I are doing great after talking, thanks, not so sure about my father, he’s so hard to comprehend. I’m gonna go out to fly a kite with my youngest son in a sec. I love that - each day is, even each moment we receive the chance to start fresh. Blessings to you too!!!!!! ✨ ☀️ 🌝 🌈 ⭐️ 🙏
Yes Agora! Perfect! I thought similar like even the bare cold looking branches have to allow the sun and hence light upon them like in a hard life has beauty and warmth in it too.
Your Gratefulness for life , that is Powerful!
I still have my days where it’s hard to be grateful for my life but I’m getting better at it.
Glad you are here... huh 🤔 it must be chicken chow mein day today.
I was trying to match Sillysausage's unique sense of humor. He makes me laugh out loud sometimes. I will need to keep my day job and leave the standup to him. ☺️
