The Grateful Thread

I'm grateful for being accepted into grad school. Maybe now I can get the degree I need to work in the field where I feel like I can do something good.

Grateful for my amazing girlfriend, who makes a life a little low on comforts seem relatively OK.

A rented home, a car with insurance and gas, internet, phone, food... Thank you, work. Appreciate you accepting my potential. You don't realize just how much you're contributing to my immanent escape from a potentially Donald Trump government

Pigs or not, at least this planet does have positive gravity, a breathable atmosphere, warmth (heat-wise) and some food and water. At least there's that ....

:dry:

Be things as they are.
Do things as they do.
Know not one but all.
Know not all but one.
Breathe and feel life.
Smile and know joy.
Laugh and know play.
Nothing else matters.

SPRINGSTEEN

There is a lot of turmoil happening with families in my former religion right now. New policies put in place are divisive of families with gay or lesbian children or parents according to the families of those affected. Watching this from the outside I am a spectator with a bird's eye view.

I feel like I am watching this "opera" play out in front of me. I see my former faith playing their part in the great game as best they know how; I see the critics of it fighting back, hurt by it, doing what they can to mitigate it, in short, playing their part in the great game the best they know how.

And so I watch from afar, willing to lend my support and opinions on what I think is right, but not entangled in the powerful emotions that are gripping people in this hard time.

Emotion, yet Peace.
I seek more to console than be consoled.

I am grateful to Jediism for helping me play my part in the great game. And enjoy doing it.

Those moments of clarity that allow one to comprehend - if only briefly - just how f*cked up things really are ... :laugh:

I am grateful for the entire journey I have been granted in life so far. I've been a football player, a warrior, a traveler, a teacher, a student, a wise man, a dumb man, and many other things... I'm grateful for my wife and kids... All in all I'm just grateful to be alive. Looking forward to kicking in more doors and breaking more sh*t.

Grateful for every man and woman who served for this great country, past & present, living & deceased, thank you...
