Melissa

Thankful for this beautiful day.

Jeff

Hey everyone :) I've been off my email for a while traveling with my dad through Yellowstone and Tetons..there's one thing to be grateful for..but really there's not much I'm not grateful for (though sometimes I forget and take things for granted until I'm grounded).  We gotta be grateful for even the toughest and most uncomfortable or tragic experiences too, because they often teach us the most and help us to grow and transform if we let them.  Always a silver lining..always.  Even death brings an appreciation for life. Lots of gratitude for everyone's consistent (or not so consistent) sharing <3

Rachel

I'm grateful for this hiatus of constantly being connected to my cell phone.

Marsha
Friday...August 28th an amazing beautiful moon.
Saturday ...August 29th an amazing beautiful sunset.
Sunday ...August 30th ...I was feeling a little blue and brought myself to a local garden center to cheer me up.  Walking through a field of perennials, suddenly a mass of at least 20 extra large beautiful, colorful butterflies came out from somewhere and surrounded me while I stood in shock watching them fly around me, until I was the one to walk away.  I believe it was a sign and embraced such a magical moment.  My eyes were on the butterflies, I did not realize I had an audience with me, embracing the beauty as well.
How grateful I was to share that moment with strangers and grateful that I forgot I was feeling weepy earlier in the day.
Marsha ...
Happy September 🌻

Carol

I am so grateful to not put pressure on myself, to listen to my body, not this mind that loves to jump, jump, and keep jumping, when I slow down (who wants to) and listen to my body; it tells me everything I need to do to, to get me where my intentions are.  Have fun and play, Carol, and whoever wants to play; we can! 

Nick
