For the last two years, every week I write a gratitude post. In addition to that, I’m closing 2014 with the biggies. For these, I’m grateful:
- I grieved the life I don’t have and am more peaceful in the present
- I overcame my fear of public appearances
- I processed the consciousness-altering dream I had in 2013 that changed my cosmology
- I had a total breakdown of health and psychology that brought closure to long-seated anxiety
- I realized my chemical reality for what it is, at my current age and health
- I finally feel my stress is in the present, and that I’m not dragging my past into my present (or being dragged around by it)
- I realize the impact PTSD has on the body
- I forgave my body for its chronic conditions, and thanked it for carrying me through it all
- I published Teen Spirit Guide to Modern Shamanism
- I learned a lot about being an adult partner
- I learned more about being a good mother
- I enjoyed playing more games
- I reconnected with Truthsayer
- I did lots of sacred decluttering
- I experienced fabulous bonding with Tribe
- I created the Two-Year Modern Shamanism Intensive
- I figured out what I’m doing here, and how I want to do it
It seems like 2014 was a big year for you! I hope 2015 is a good one too!
thank you for sharing your thoughts. I kept a gratitude journal for three years and it changed my life and outlook. Once we get past the “thankful for shelter food health family”…we can get down to the nuts of bolts of a real life of gratitude.
What a great list! Those are all truly things to be grateful for. I love that you’re so in touch with your inner self. Have a great 2015!
