Merry Meet,
Do you guys have any idea how lucky we are?
I mean at the very least we all have computers and internet  many people in the world dont...
And also everyday I feel so grateful I have 2 legs taht I can walk on, 2 arms I can use, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, 10 fingers, 10 toes etc
I know this sounds relaly strange right now....but do you know that so many people around the world dont have such things? Some people are born with eyes that dont work....jsut imagine never seeing anything in this world. Or being born deaf...never hearing anything!
Or never walking, or using your arms or being in a wheelchair forever.
When I think of stuff like this I feel REALLY lucky...
I think that counting your blessings really lets you realize how easy we have it in life (despite all the hardships we have!) and it really makes you value life and everyting around it a lot more...
I also feel SO blessed that I was called to the Wicca path. And I also feel so blessed that I have a love for horses. Wicca makes my life complete and horses brighten it up. (mightve mentioned that somewhere before)
There is So much that we have been blessed by, so much to be thankful for - stuff we just take for granted everyday cuz its always been part of our life. If we REALLY had to count EVERYTINg, the list would endless, so just count some here
So what about you guys? What do you have to be thankful for....Count your blessings here!
Brightest Blessings

Jamie you are right! It is so easy to forget about the little things that we are blessed with because we don't know life any differently! When you actually take time to think about it you realize its not actually a 'little thing'. Many people would love to have the lives we have even though at times we all prolly would like to die! Lolz I know I have...it really teaches you something when you think about everything you have and not focus on the stuff you don't have.
Blessings

Yes...that is exactly it amy!!!  Im glad someone understands....I just think its so important! I mean sometimes i feel REALLY unlucky...but than deep down I know that its not SO bad...
I mean, what really makes me realize this is everytime after i finish falling off a horse. I realize that right there i coudlve just ruined the rest of my life (like broken my leg, fallen on my head, broken spinal cord or neck) and than I just feel SO lucky I dont get hurt...
Its almost as if life flashes before ya...you value it a lot more!
So falling off a horse soo many times and not having any injuries is serious blessing for me...i am SO grateful (& so are my parents...no hospital bills or broken kid to take care of!)

yes...I try not to take for granted even in this fast paced world everything the God and Goddess has given me. I thank them for my friends, whom I value and feel like they've changed my life. I thank them for the shelter and family that I am in, and even though they aren't the best all the time, at least I am in out of the cold, happy and fed. I thank them for my kitten, and everything that brings joy to my life. I thank them that I live in this situation, and not one that is a tragedy we sometimes see or hear on tv...I thank them for inspiring me, and filling my life with friends and people who inspire me as well.
yea...I know I could go on...I include stuff like this in my prayers..umm but I talk on for hours:o and usually fall alseep..*yawns* but I am thankful and try to take notice of everything that I should be grateful for in my life

Heh, lately I've been feeling really unlucky for the life I have...I feel that its just not enough and not worth it! You're right though, people have it much worse off than I do...thank you for reminding me. Maybe someday I'll be able to appreciate it more . |

sometimes life can really hit rock bottom and its like it cant get any worse....but it SO can...
I mean at least we all have good shelter, good food and are decent off moneywise, as we do have computers and internet. (i mean, imagine living in poverty, sleeping on mud in the rain, begging for food or eating bugs or leaves. ick. i do feel lucky. we all should) We are all in the better part of the world...
You might not have the 'best' possible life...but i doubt any of us will ever have the 'best' life. We just have to make the best of what we have. So just deal with it - be happy for what you have.

Man guys... I'm crying right now!! these two years have been the absolute worst of my ENTIRE life!!! my parents got divorced and are fighting tooth n nail over custody even though we can't even be alone with my dad cause he abused us and Adam died in a car accident and our pet got put down and I was so negative towards my father... and it just TORE at me. And i was just so lost in the world... there was no shelter from life for me!!! parents... well they were up in arms and my own walls... well they were just tainted with pain. and god a messed up sis who's suicidal and having sex at 15 ALL over the place... and just the harsh world as it is being beaten down just for my beliefs and ways. Going to a police station to try and arrest your own father? And feeling the whole time like it's all your fault and your veins had just run black and cold........ it was a HARD TWO YEARS INDEED> But it was the BEST two years of my ENTIRE LIFE!!!! Sometimes i feel like NOBODY is as lucky as I am!!! I finally FOUND the religion for me... Wicca... finally discovered the greater purpose... and my walls dnt scream pain anymore... they're walls.. SHELTER!! and my parents god are messed up right now but geez do they both love me!!! People look at my life as SO messed up and it completly puzzles me because my life is SO GREAT!!! My parenst ARE DIVORCED... so they ARE working things out for the greater good... that's the whole point of divorce!!! and I'm so much stronger in my self and in love and in my faith because of EVERYTHING. Geez I can't god... just can't even explain how LUCKY i am to be alive... to be loved... to know my path... yet not now!!! Blessings |

Oh Lunar....wow it does sound like youve had 2 very very hard years  sometimes life can really stink and be so unfair! But the way you think is good you are lucky to be alive, to be loved, to know your path and everything. Some people live their whole lives without ever beingloved and search their whole lives trying to find their path but never do. No matter how bad you have it - someone will always have it worse. So you gotta be grateful - for everything. |
