Symposium Post Being Thankful

[imGE]It is a simple thing to be thankful for the good things in your life. The joys the happiness, the days spent with loved ones, shared lives, moments of triumph.

It takes a different type of strength to be thankful for the times that tore your life apart, that made you question why you existed or if you should even continue to exist; to be thankful for those people who called you hateful names, for the jobs you lost, for the times without money, for the that died, the friend that betrayed you, the family that left you, alone without help when you most needed it.

But here you stand….still stand. And somehow, all of those terrible things, illness, trauma, death, poverty, did not stop you from surviving. Here you stand.

Thankful for what you survived. For whatever it is in you that kept you going. That made it possible for you to take that next step. To not once or twice, but more times than anyone should ever have to, you stood up, moved forward, not back, without blame.

Look at you. No matter what anyone else says, you are still the fuck here. That counts.

Be thankful for THAT. For your spirit. For not accepting defeat no matter how many times it beat the door down to claim you.

Be thankful that YOU are a bad mofo, with enough love in your heart to forgive all those who tried to crush you.


You cannot conceive the many without the one.

thanks.

I was thinking about how easy it is to feel sorry for yourself and then my neighbor came over and told me a story. I felt so ashamed for being such a crybaby.

people are so brave.......blessed be

Oh sister-friend, this is PERFECT....and just the powerful reminder that I needed. I have spent far too much time trying to wish away the bad and yet, if I stop and really think about it, so much good came out of it. Learning and love and memories and growth. I you so very much!

Always tell the truth
Use kind words
Keep your promises
Giggle and laugh
Be positive
Love one another
Always be grateful
Forgiveness is mandatory
Try new things
Say please and thank you
Say your prayers
Smile
