The Grateful Thread

Since moving into our flat last Friday, we have had no Wi-Fi and essentially no cellular data at all, so we've been pretty cut off from the world. We were talking to the guy living below us about this yesterday and he, completely of his own kindness, gave us his Wi-Fi password. We were incredibly touched!

I know it's a bit of a "First World Problem" :laugh:, but it really meant a lot to us to be able to message our family and friends that we don't get to see too often. It's great to be back on TotJO, too!

I was just reflecting on how many ways the TotJO has influenced my life in positive ways. I am grateful.

I am grateful for my bosses both going on holiday at the same time, so I can get through the work piled up on my desk!

I am grateful for and to all those that have and do share their experience and time with me.

My friend advised that his death is not eminent, and that he honors my desire to scribe his legacy. He will be available for questions. Mostly, he just trusts. He need not see sign off. I will mail it to the proxy when it is time.

We agree it is for others that may feel left behind. We agree that the words and spirit of our mentors words never leave us even when the mentor lays the body down.

grateful just to be here.

I am eternally grateful to a dear friend of mine who, dispite his own, often greater problems, always takes the time to listen to mine.

You are the one who I test my beliefs on, one of those people I know I can always rely on to give me your honest opinion and an open ear. A few times you've been the only person I could talk to. And although we have never met in person, I consider you one of my closest friends.

Thank you for the support. I don't know where I would be without you, but I know wherever that is, it wouldn't be as much fun or as far as I am.

And on that note there is another person who I want to thank for keeping me sane. You are a joy to talk to. I have so few friends locally and we get to talk daily. Between you and the previous person, I am reminded that I am not alone. Which I'm more thankful than I can, with all my love of word, describe.

Thank you both.

I am grateful to my mother who risked her health to have me

I am grateful for wise words from friends that bring me understanding of myself.
thank you Cabur

I am grateful to those who...not exactly take me out of my comfort zone, but who show me that perhaps it might be a fair bit larger than I think it is.
