\nYOU’RE INVITED TO\u00a0SIGN THIS VERY SPECIAL “THANK YOU CARD”<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span>How does this card work?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Do you have anything that you’re thankful for? \u00a0Simply respond below and share any loving expression of thanks that you would like to offer the world.<\/p>\nOr if you’d prefer, you can leave your response within an identical\u00a0post on my HoneyIShrunkTheGrief.com\u00a0Facebook page<\/a><\/div>\n.<\/span><\/div>\n~\u00a0\u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0 ~\u00a0 \u00a0~\u00a0 \u00a0~\u00a0 \u00a0~\u00a0 \u00a0~<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\nI’ve decided to make this post a Big, Permanent, & Ongoing<\/em> part of HoneyIShrunkTheGrief.\u00a0 Why?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>.
\nBecause . . .<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n-Being grateful is life-changing.<\/span>
\n -Being grateful is only a thought away.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n-Giving thanks is an act of giving, and I feel good whenever I give.<\/span><\/div>\n-I feel deeply connected to the world, therefore it feels most appropriate for me to share my thoughts of thanks with you\/with the world.<\/span>
\n ~\u00a0\u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0 ~\u00a0 \u00a0~\u00a0 \u00a0~\u00a0 \u00a0~\u00a0 \u00a0~<\/strong><\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\nYou can find my first submission below. I will be back to leave additional messages whenever I\u2019m feeling grateful, or whenever I\u2019m feeling low (thinking about all the goodness in my life always lifts my spirits, so I would like to get into the habit of returning to this post often).<\/span><\/div>\n.<\/span>
\nIf you\u2019d like to leave your own message of thanks in the comment section below, please feel free to use my format, or whatever format feels best to you.<\/span><\/div>\n.<\/span>
\nOr if you\u2019d prefer to just read the collection of responses that are left over time, that\u2019s great too. I’m grateful for You, <\/em>and for your interest in giving thanks, and you\u2019re welcome to share in this in whatever way you\u2019d like.
\n.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\nThank You<\/em><\/strong> <\/span>for giving me this place to share life and express myself. Connectedness is the oxygen of my soul.<\/div>\nThank You<\/em><\/strong> <\/span>for surrounding me with loving people. “You complete me”.<\/div>\nThank You<\/em><\/strong><\/span> for the double rainbow I saw with my son David on Sunday. Rainbows take my breath away and fill me with hope. And I learned something really cool too…David told me that his teacher taught him that whenever there is a 2nd rainbow, the colors in the 2nd one are reversed…and it was true, they were! Fascinating!<\/div>\nThank You<\/em><\/strong><\/span> for the excitement that comes with knowing that I’ll always be a student.<\/div>\nThank You<\/em><\/strong><\/span> for the misty rain that covered me on my bike ride this morning. I felt like I was riding through a cloud!…and it felt like the world was\u00a0baptizing\u00a0me! Renewing!<\/div>\nThank You<\/em><\/strong><\/span> to\u00a0welovegratitude.com<\/a>\u00a0for being a large part of the inspiration for this post. Such a beautiful site…overflowing with love.<\/div>\nThank You<\/em><\/strong><\/span> for the Fall season. It reminds me of all the glory within Change. It reminds me that life involves constant change. It reminds me to welcome change; to seek out its beauty — its new and nourishing perspective is everywhere. All I have to do is open my eyes…look…and feel.<\/div>\nThank You<\/em><\/strong><\/span> for the courage to love. Love makes me wonderfully vulnerable…and opens the doors and windows of my heart…and allows the soft and warm breeze of life to freely pass through…while\u00a0whisking\u00a0away the daily muck that I accumulate that clouds my vision. Long live love!<\/div>\nThank You<\/em><\/strong><\/span> for imagination. It all starts with a spark of imagination (and then throw in some creativity, and let the party begin!). I imagine this first post as a seed, that grows and grows…and becomes massive…and stands tall and proud like a big Redwood tree!…and provides shelter, direction, and nourishment.<\/div>\nThank You<\/em><\/strong><\/span> for the courage and bravery needed to take a chance…to explore…to try new things…while following the songs of my heart. Who knows what’s behind any door? Only one way to find out :)<\/div>\n.<\/span>
\nForever Grateful,<\/span>
