Rep Power: 49433 | Gratitude Prayers My darling friends, luvs, and supportive kindness of many. Some are adopted family, some I would be deeply glad to spend more fact to face time with. LA Freeways can make it difficult. But we favorite trackers do seem to keep track of each other. So because we are a community that we share a friendship and cammeradie with (Ya know, "water seeks it's own level") Anyway, I ramble when I medicate. Am starting this thread to share gratitude prayers daily with you. Am hoping to encourage others to do the same. Am not preaching anything or anyone. Just a non-denominational minister who believes in the church of the Holy Weed. I do digress when am properly medicated. Every morning that I get of of bed is a daily gratitude day. First prayer of the morning! Every evening I admire my bed before I pull back the covers. Making the bed has the reward that I am taking good care of me. It is comforting to know that. That's it folks, maybe more tomorrow. BTW there is typo here and I am going to leave it and see if anyone notices it. I think it was meant be that way. |

Rep Power: 49433 | Re: Gratitude Prayers Good morning trackers, reppers and friends. Many thanks and gratitude for my delish cup of Java. Fueling my morning, my need for speed. After grinding the beans, and making it very ritual like the first taste makes for a gratitude prayer that the coffee beans are plentiful forever or to my death time which ever comes first. Actually the real gratitude prayer came when I opened the blinds to a spectacular view of green hills and an abundance of sunshine. Java for jiving and nature for giving those are my morning gratitude prayers. Hope you all have a wonderful day! |

Rep Power: 261063 | Re: Gratitude Prayers lifes routine actions are yogic practices for me. anytime i feel the need to give thanks, i step aside, clear my mind (easier than it sounds) and come back to the reality that my container is a holy temple that shrouds my atomic soul, and from this place i come back to the reality we are one, with all atomic. and i enjoy doing this at times, in the middle of chaos (it's funny to open your eyes and have people starin at you, like what the hell is he doing i give visual gratitude to my beautiful mother b1joy2c namaste |

I give thanks daily for still having a body and mind that function well together (e.g. I can still walk on my own, and have my wits about me to at least try to find your typo, b1joy2c, and to speculate here on why you may have decided to leave it that way). | |

Rep Power: 89822 | Re: Gratitude Prayers I'm Thankful for b1joy to help me understand that i can look at my situation with 2 different views. The first one was before reading this thread, #1 "I woke up and am facing the SAME shit as yesterday UGHHHHH!" or #2 " Had a place to sleep and keep warm last night and i WOKE UP" Thanks to you b1joy I choose the second. Thank you for helping me see that although lifes challenges are still going to be there everyday, that maybe just maybe we should take a little more JOY in what we DO have. I am one of the Luckiest guy's around when it comes down to it, and i am Thankful for this thread and my WT Family. I know he doesn't like attention like this but to say i am thankful for Kev and Missy and my NNCC Family, HIS Compassion makes me want to be a better Man and i Love you guy's ( i know! i 'm not getting yer "Bud-Light" lol) Peace Love and HOPE ............. Dale! I am also thankful to have my Bear, he's what's kept me sane. Ok i am done! |

Today, my morning gratitude is for my caregiver who really tries to do what is communicated i.e. no cell phone usuage when you are working with me. This has been an ongoing annoyance, as many as 5 or 6 calls in a four hour period. After several communications that I thought were loud and clear today was the last time I would address the issue. Was clear that compliance was not an option without it she will be replaced. Needless to say all is well and the phone was quiet and she turned it off as asked. For that I am grateful because believe it or not; asking for what I need is sometimes a problem. Gratitude for the ability to deliver the message in a kindly but genuine managment technique which was learned in business many years ago. Am grateful for old school uses coming to surface in a new part of my life that is now seasoned. Yeaah for me and mankind for I thank the powers that be for my now mellow methods of communication. Rather than temper, temperance, rather than a pissy face or killer smile it was not studied it was just what it was. No acting, no practicing my lines just honesty in communication and deeds. For that I am thankful. | |

Rep Power: 49433 | Re: Gratitude Prayers Grateful today for the beautiful weather, good air quality and mostly for being able to do nothing except play on the computer, medicate and eat some of the best tomatoes I have ever tasted. Yummmy. Small things make for big pleasures! Yipee I say for tomatoes today. Thanks for the powers that be let me celebrate munchies and good meds. It takes very little for me to think of a gratitude prayer. I do pray for all the troops and am grateful that the American people spoke and we have changed regimes for what I hope is a better future and economy. They are all linked together. So gratitude begins with change. Gratitude also for all the friends and family here on the track..... |

Rep Power: 49433 | Good day to my fellow trackers. The winds of change are blowing me away! Back in the house to simply be! It is the day of church of the Holy Weed and for that I am grateful. I will simply watch my bamboo sway in the wind and be grateful that it takes so little to amuse me for such a small amount of currency. Chump change that's me. Have been blessed today by the powers that be by letting go of valuables for cash. I mean who needs so much stuff. Have sent off broken gold jewelry and will have money for stash for cash. What a concept to be happy to buy meds. The kindness of friends has been overwhelming and have been really feeling taken care of because of angels and the kindness of friends and family of trackers. Am grateful for this community. May your day be filled with love, laughs and good meds. Sunny salutations Sunday!:partysmile: |

Rep Power: 49433 | Re: Gratitude Prayers Am grateful for being able to enjoy the confidence of good friends who share their secrets with me which enables me to play it forward. That is truly a lesson of gratitude in the action itself. Thanks to the powers that reign am able to uphold friends wishes with love, caring and sharing. Sometime pain is gain, when you hurt so much for someone else's problems without making them your own but knowing you can be part of their core strength when entrusted with private information and health care issues. |

Rep Power: 49433 | Re: Gratitude Prayers Am so grateful that I am so medicated I can hardly type, however it is the first time in 4 days that I can almost breathe. Am feeling really relaxed and am so grateful for that. Had some devilish behavior on my part and I have been beating myself up for not being kind to a very kind and close friend. It was like the devil made me do it. Out of my big bitch mouth spewed terrible adjectives. Describing what in reality is true but it was righteous, self serving and a part of me that I thought was buried and then it reared it's ugly head,. So after I slapped myself a couple times when I was alone. left a message on the phone where I truly apologized. After a 3 day stonewalling she said which foot or cheek should I kiss. We visited, shared my homemade cranberry bread comfort food for my healing, some laughs and a real hug and girlie kisses and all is forgiven. But probably will not live long enough to live this one down. (Oxymoron) So I am grateful I have some self deprecating tales to tell. Seems like maybe I don't want to be remembered as nutcase or ultra bitch. Just wanna be that sweet old lady. She just stays high to get by, loves her world, it's getting smaller and I am feeling taller. I go out less and enjoy more. There truly is no place like home for me. Am grateful also that have always been a people watcher. Guess we all do that, people tell their own stories or at least perhaps own up to ours but it is all in the receiver that we own. No static is getting less interesting in people watching. I don't care about how you look or what you think about and I am grateful for that as well. Just mostly conscious of where I am at and what is my mission. Grateful that I can find my way home. Peace out my darlings, and my non darlings and not yet met. Happy Holidays all and I wish more would share it here in this thread this thanks giving. I will be grateful my niece is coming from Denver so over and out and here's my kickoff for the holidays, .:partysmile: Last edited by b1joy2c; 11-19-2008 at 10:38 PM.. |

Rep Power: 310637 | Re: Gratitude Prayers Even though life sucks pretty hard at the moment, I still have much to be thankful for. First and foremost is family and friends....If I didn't have them in my life I would not survive the BS I'm going through right now. Second is my health....I'm not in perfect health, but I'm thankful for what I have. I medicate with MMJ because of pain from 2 motorcycle accidents, but that's not nearly as severe as many here at WT. I'm also thankful for my cyberfreinds here at WeedTracker. When I need a little boost, I check out some of the threads you guys post and laugh out loud. THANKS!! |

Rep Power: 49433 | Re: Gratitude Prayers this morning as I medicate with my nebulizer I just checked in and am grateful for all the friends I have been missing in cyberspace. You all brought my day up a notch before the noise and activities of houseguests that give you a change of routine. Sometimes a good thing. Tom Turkey and I are starting to have an affair and am sorry that I have to cook him. Been coddling him to defrost and not chill as long as he did. Am thankful that we have had an uneventful day yesteday, but I was near tears with keeping family secrets secret. Especially because at this point it would not serve a purpose. So here I am waking up grateful that the nightmare in my dream was not a reality but perhaps a message from my subconscious on driving down a new road filled with obstacles, friends, relatives and locales. Happy Turkey day and I am greatful (spelling intended) to be so blessed to be here and made so many supportive and loving friends here at Weedtracker. May you all be blessed with a day of bounty and love. Am glad I could quickly check in before my coffee. Meds finished and the day begins now that I have jump started my lungs. For that I am in deep grattitude. AGAIN, Happy thankgiving! |
