for here and as usual at being equally thankful AND amazed my fried brain still heals and I grow cognitively.

Ann 09-19-2019 06:50 AM

PJ, you are a miracle in motion and I am grateful you are here.

Grateful for all my friends here, keeping me grateful every day.

for whales

Ann 09-21-2019 05:45 PM

Grateful for warm autumn days where people still go to the beach...not to see whales, PJ. :tongue:

PhoenixJ 09-22-2019 03:12 AM

For walks at the sea, where out there- nature is raw...always feel connected, or more so...

Ann 09-22-2019 05:41 AM

PJ, walks by water, big or small, is calming to the soul and refreshes the senses.

I am grateful this morning for family that grows closer as we all grow older. There comes a time when we all support each other and no longer analyze the paths the others chose to take.

And for blueberry pancakes, it's good to have blueberry pancakes on a Sunday morning.

I am grateful for a really fun weekend and meeting some very nice people.

i am grateful this thread continues.

I am grateful for my 5 day vacation to attend a music festival with my brother's family. I love the time I get to spend with my nieces, especially with music involved.

Ann 09-22-2019 04:20 PM

SmartRose, I hope you have a wonderful time.

Grateful for my friends here.

For the sharp, fresh air in the hills when I go a-drivin'.

No whales.

Ann 09-24-2019 11:42 AM

Grateful for autumn and moose. They go together, I think.

PJ, a moose is the Canadian version of a land whale, I think....well, I made that up but I think it is possible. :tongue:

Land whales- I see the truth of it. Now it all seems so simple.

I did not post images- as there are prices, but still! WTH?? Type 'moosewhale' into a search engine, and of course there are results.

PhoenixJ 09-25-2019 04:35 AM

Tonight I feel a natural peace in my soul hitherto not experienced. It will not last of course- but welcome. I am grateful for the Burns Unit, for the counsellors in the Recovery Program and the myriad of professional and others who have thus been part of my journey- which continues to unfold.

I still feel the need to break the surface tension of profound statements by writing something absurd. Please take note, Ann

Whales evolved from small aquatic hoofed ancestors - Not ...

blogs.discovermagazine.com › notrocketscience › 2010/05/07 › whales-ev...

May 7, 2010 - According to molecular evidence, the closest living relatives of whales are, quite surprisingly, the artiodactyls, a group of hoofed mammals that includes deer, cows, sheep, pigs, giraffes, camels and hippos.

Might that list include Moose , or is it plural meese ?

Ann 09-25-2019 01:37 PM

^^^^

:groan

My head hurts.

I am grateful for another warm day by the lake, and a donkey named "Jack" who likes the apples I fetch for him (from the wild crab apple tree nearby).

Have you ever looked a donkey square in the eye? It makes them smile.

lordy, those teeth!

Awake61 09-26-2019 03:55 AM

Grateful to view all these pictures first thing in the morning! Smiling feels good.

Ann 09-26-2019 01:12 PM

Nothing like starting your day with a smile, Awake. :D

Ann 09-28-2019 04:28 PM

I am grateful today for the pure joy of children, and that I will see my little great nephew and niece tomorrow...they are joy personified. We can learn from children, I think.

That is beautiful. To those who love, understand, protect, and guide the wee ones --the most vulnerable of all, the innocent and trusting ones -- God bless you. :Flower:

Ann 09-30-2019 01:12 PM

I am grateful today for the beauty of autumn, the change of leaves and the quietude when walking by the river....no, PJ, there are no whales in the river. :wink:

And for the wildflowers that grow along the path by the water...I love these most of all, even if they make me sneeze.

Grateful- just am.

Ann, so there are no whales in the garden, BUT- here I present to you, a garden that is in the shape of a whale.

Today I am grateful for the whale, donkey, mouse, child and flowers that made me smile in this thread. :)

PhoenixJ 10-01-2019 01:18 AM

Whales can do that.....

Ann 10-01-2019 07:33 AM

Happy October dear friends.

for the slow return of positive memories

Ann 10-04-2019 05:25 AM

“Happiness cannot be traveled to owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.” – Denis Waitley

Grateful that the Canadian Thanksgiving is only a week away. Grateful for turkey and pumpkin pie and a niece who cooks/bakes both.
