No such thing as TMI on this team. Good for you!

Today I'm grateful that my friend is now off all her high blood pressure, hypertension medication and is coming off her anti-depressants. this is such a huge change for her! She was able to do it through yoga, meditation and journaling. It's so awesome to see the authentic person beneath all the medication.

Poopers - sorry, TMI. Before embracing a Vegan lifestyle I had a problem in this department. Not anymore. This is such an important part of our health and well being.

Have a great day everyone. Pat

Today I'm grateful for a unique event. Without going into depth, my dad and mom (who are elderly) have long been harrassed by their next door neighbor. (The arrogance of this neighbor is amazing: trust me, you would NOT like him!) Both he and his wife have been giving my parents verbal abuse by the way they speak to them. I've often worried about them being subjected to such abuse.

Well, when dad finally bought a privacy fence this week, after finally having enough from the neighbors, he had 10 men volunteer to help put it up! (Some had had sour dealings with this neighbor themselves, others had heard of how they were treating my parents.) They put it up today--in just one day--and it's a LOONG fence!

It was one of those "Little House on the Prairie" moments when the whole community seemed to come out to help a neighbor in trouble!!! We are all very humbled by this show of compassion and concern! It was heroic!

So now they no longer have to even look at the neighbors--there's a huge fence between them-- and there is such a strong sence of peace. So I'm am SOOOOOO grateful to all those who came out to help my family and so grateful that even I can now not be as concerned about my parents as I was.

If given the chance, people can surprise you. They can come to the resque of those in need. So never feel that nobody hears your crys for help...cause you might be surprised, even as we were!!!

This section of the group is not really the right spot to comment on other's posts, but I had to today:

"Today I'm grateful for my husband who is just freaking amazing"

What a great wife he has in you, Kelly! As a guy, your post just touched my heart. He's a lucky man!

Boni: you are so right about being grateful for the ability to read. It's something we rarely think about...but just last week my dad talked to a couple of our neighbors and learned that neither one of them can read! They are intelligent folks who keep a spotless house, and they also can't read. We just rarely hear of that nowdays, but illiteracy really does exist for some. So yeah, the ability to read is a gift we should all enjoy.

Today I'm grateful for my husband who is just freaking amazing, friends who offer great opportunity and a job that allows me to take advantage of that opportunity.

Today I'm grateful for my motivation and ability to workout hard, a good sweat to start my day and a wonderful smoothie.
