“Thankfulness”

Posted on by

Today I was reading several different gratitude quotes. Which should I use to express what it means to me? They are all great messages, but didn’t quite say what it’s taught me in my own life. So I’m writing my own.

“Gratitude is the medicine,
That brought healing to my broken heart.
That mended my painful wounds.
That cleared away my foggy mind.
That brought clarity into focus.
That opened my eyes once again.
That revealed all the good,
That over-shadowed all my saddness.
That brought me back to life.
And for that I will forever be full 
Of thankfulness and gratitude!

“Friendships of Understanding”

understanding friendship

In so doing we validate one another for who we are, and it gives us the freedom to be true to ourselves as well. But it’s true that not everyone is going to like us or understand us. And you know what, that’s ok too. We don’t have to spend our life trying to be for others what we think they want us to be. There’s not much we can do about that. Friendships do require effort, but they shouldn’t feel hard to hold together. So why not put your efforts where they are the most appreciated. Friendships shouldn’t be hard, and if they are then there’s not much understanding to work with.
