with all the bickering.... self pitying... negative happenings going on around the world at the moment... i'm really hoping this thread doesn't get lost on some other page... with only 1 or 2 replies


now's your chance... to look inside you... and give some love..... some of you may think this thread doesn't belong under psychic advice and help........ i think it does.... because i've a feeling that this would be very beneficial to our spiritual and psychic growth..........

so sit back... close your eyes... and search your soul..... if we share with others what we love and appreciate... maybe... just maybe... we can create a small miracle...

i love watching my children grow... love the little hugs and kisses that take me by surprise...
i love the feeling i get when talking to friends... even the ones who call me pigheaded
i love sitting out on the back steps just before dawn... listening to the world wake to a brand new day
i love watching insects/animals going about their business
i love the way i can stop at a pedestrian crossing at christmas... dwelling on my own minor misfortunes... and see a young boy in a wheelchair look straight at me... wave and give me a huge smile....
i love the affect that laughter has on people... people who came along feeling down... and leave.. thanking others for brightening their day....
and.... i love the way i'm accepted for who i am... by those i care about

here's my gift of thanks for all the things i love..... it didn't cost me anything.... was very easy to do...
i hope you like it --------------------->

This won't get lost...it's a fantastic idea...

I love that the money I used to spend on Christmas presents will save an animal or two this year...

I love seeing how well my daughter has turned out despite having a weirdo for a mum!

I love it when my students say 'I think I can do it on my own now, thanks for all you've taught me.'

I too love it just before dawn when it's clean and fresh with the promise of a new day.

I love it when an insect that needs rescuing heeds my call and jumps onto the leaf or paper I am offering instead of running away.

I love it that I have finally learnt to just be who I am...

I love my friends even the pig headed ones!

I love the gift of silence.

I love standing under the full moon when it is big and yellow and soaking up its energy.

I love the feeling I get when I give the Big Issue vendor $20 and say 'Keep the change'.

Oh, I feel so much better!

Thank you WittySpirit. xxx

This is a very beautiful thread WittySpirit, and at such a time when we all need it the most So very glad you posted it

I love that my close family is always there for eachother, even if we don't always take their good advice

I love the sound of birds first thing in the morning and the sound of water on the beach

I love more then anything that my friends and cousins have now found people that love them with all their heart and being

I love seeing people smile and laughing after having a hard day at work, especially sometimes because that is one of the more difficult times to do so

I love being able to give to others...giving is better then receiving in so many ways

I love the fact that people don't judge anyone on here and instead encourage them

I love seeing the quiet affection that my mom and step-dad share when they think no one is watching them

I love when my cats curl up in my lap, purring with so much contentment

And I love the thought of one day becoming a mother and a wife to an incredible man that gets me...

Being able to say it like this really cleanses the spirit, it really does so thank you for WittySpirit for your wonderful posting, it made my day

I agree, wonderful thanksgiving thread

I love the fact that I found this forum and met so many great people.

I love the fact that in my darkest hour, when I told my friends I never want to see them again because I don't want to burden anyone with my pain, they marched right up to my door and didn't leave until I finally let them in a few hours later and resolved things.

Given that, I love the fact that I know for sure my friends will never leave me no matter what.

I love the fact that my family is supportive of each other.

I love the fact that I can actually be helpful to other people.

I love the fact that God gives me so many blessings without me having to ask for them.

I love the fact that no matter how much I get hurt, I can still find the capacity to love.

I love the fact that there is so so so much more I can be thankful for that I just can't remember them all!

Wow just reading what people said could fill me with a lifetime of joy! What a wonderful idea

I love threads like this, in fact I love hearing about what makes others happy, and I love feeling their feelings of happiness.

I love my friends, I love how honest we are, I love how dependable they are. And I love how they can depend on me too.

I love laying on the beach, absorbing the sunlight, hearing the waves and the seagulls, and smelling the salt water.

I love seeing children laugh and play, and not care about, or rather not know about, the world's issues. I remember when I was like that

I love when someone prefaces telling me something by saying "I've never told anyone else this, but for some reason I think I can trust you with this" and then proving to them that they were right.
For that matter, I love being useful, I love being necessary, I love being of strong heart, although I don't say it very much, I love me!

And I love and am fascinated by how everyone is necessary. Isn't that clever how every individual in the universe is equally important? It's hard to comprehend!

I'll stop there cause I could go on for pages.

I love the fact that there are no strangers in the world just people we have not met yet

I love the fact that I have ears to hear nice things, eyes to see nice things, a mouth to speak nice things, and a mind to think nice things and I have never had to ask for such great gifts

I also love the fact that there are other people out there in the world that think like me and start wonderful threads like this

I want to thank you as well, sometimes it's easier or one is able to be more open and share themselves and talk about intimate personal quests, or longings, or instances whether there metaphsyical ( well everything is) I guess I mean most of us if we really pay attention or are not afraid to share an experience of something un usual on this site versus telling your friends we can have a dream or a thought or a feeling that here on this forum we can just tell it all. What's really cool is most everyone one this site, is not afraid to dismiss or have selective memory loss of those experiences and we don't have to worry about saying, telling or asking anything. To pay us all on the back, we should all be happy, realize our openness or bravery to be aware, not bury so called " unusual experiences and not have selective memory loss.

I am very greatful for this site.

Vivian

This is a wonderful idea and greatly appreciated Witty

I love and have come to appreciate who I am and what my purpose is in this world

I love the Divine Universe for bestowing upon me the priceless gift of Spiritualism, allowing me to "work" with those seeking it.

I love all that God gives me each day, as He continues to give me rewards allowing me to grow on each level of my "work".

I love Sumayya for never allowing me to give up and even in the after life she gave me the strength to carry on

I love my family even those who remain skeptic and have shut me out. This world is filled with hate and war and was it not God who said to "Love thy enemies" though they not enemies they family, and therefore I have learnt to turn the other cheek and take the name calling with a smile.

I love the feel of rain upon my face

I love the smell of nature, the fauna, wet bark, leaves etc

I love waking up to every new day God allows me to breathe in

I love my children who had to put up with constant name calling but defended who and what I was with pride as some of those who bullied, there parents came to me for help

I love sterling as he sometimes lays curled up at my feet during some of my readings or mediumship, nver once did he purr to be let out its a if he knew when to go out and when not to. They say animals have sixth sense, this I do believe. Sterling is my cat

I love being able to help, even if in some small way, the many who have asked for it here. For knowing I was able to share my gift is welcoming to see the many thank you's and gratitude bestowed upon me, that is your gift to me, knowing I was able to make a difference. I can see the smile upon your faces, that is priceless in itself.

I love working with the 3 year old Autistic little boy who has Hypotonia, being able to help him walk and speak, gives hope to his parents

I love life itself, there was a time I did not see it that way, thinking I was doomed with this gift I have, but I am glad I over came that, I am special like all here, each in our own way.

My name is Diane aka Arcane, which means something/someone mysterious or secretive for that is how I seem to have lived half my life. It was a nic name given to me by a client who later became a very dear and close friend who never lost faith in me and taught me to accept the gift as it was given to me for a reason, to help those in need. She died of ovarian cancer 3 years ago, it was devasting as when she was diagnosed it was already in the fourth stage, I flew overseas to be with her it was during this time I started questioning many things. I have been blessed with the ability to heal among one of the gifts, yet I could not heal her. After her death I stopped working, and blamed God for it, for whatever I have done I have done for Him, yet He could not save her. It was months as I slipped into a dark abyss that she made her presence known to me after her death. She had tried to make contact with me, yet I shut her out like I did to those on the earthly plain. For 4 days I fasted thereafter, a penance for my denial in God and all that He taught me, never to doubt my abilities but to accept that there are something in life we cannot change or save as its His word above ours. We are all put through a test and obstacles placed before us, to see how deep our dedication and commitments are. She knows how I was snubbed even before her death, even the church seen me as evil that some of the paritioners was all to eager to "save" me, this made me too look upon religion and the church in a new light. I soon found a Spiritualist Church where I feel at home. She also knew how discreet and private I was about my work, hence the name Arcane. Why am I sharing this with you all, this is my love and appreciation for my friend who passed away, for never loosing faith in me even in the after life, for if it was not for her presence that day I would not be here helping those or even be writting on this forum and meeting such wonderful people here. The friend I speak so highly Sumayya. Now you all know something about me. This is the first time I am speaking about Sumayya and my darkest days but this thread made me open up and share that with you all. For we all go through that darkness before we see the light. Challenges we need to face, yet never to loose faith of who we are. We are not God, we are His vessels

oops... i think i bumped something

i've gotta start watching where i'm going... i keep bumping into the same things..

What was written under my name was quite lovely but I didn't write it! Any one have any insight into this?

Vivian

This is a beautiful thread!!

I love to spend time with my family, I love the fact we get along so well now we have all grown up.

I love my job, I love to spend time with children and watch them grow and develop and know that I have played a part in making them the person they are becoming.

I love the fact I have started to get involved in the spiritual world, it has taken me on a self discovery journey that I would have never come across if it wasn't for it.

I love the fact that everyone on the guild is so welcoming and supportive of one another despite the fact most of us only know each other through the forum and chatroom.

I love the fact that I can rely on the sun rising every morning and the sun setting and know that everytime I wake up it is a new day and a chance to do all I can for others and myself.

I am glad for the friends in my world, in real life and in my internet world every single one mean everything to me.

I am amazed everyday when I watch the sunset that it is so beautiful and I know there is so much mroe out there than is revealed to us.

I think thats it for the moment! Oh and I find such comfort in the fact that I believe there is a god and angels watching over me and there to comfort me in times of trouble and to remind me that I am never ever alone.

So, Hey Everyone!! Do ya feel the love?!! I certainly do =)

I love the fact that each and every day, there are more and more people *awakening* and understanding that compassion, gratitude, and service-to-others are the major components contributing to our transcendance.

I love the fact that more and more "paranormal" and metaphysical tv series (like Ghost Whisperer...love that show...lol) are helping to open the eyes of those who would only otherwise see our "gifts" as evil-doing.

I love it when I am able bring out a smile on the face of someone who has really had a bad day.

I love it that people often come back to me and express their gratitude for whichever way I've helped them -- it shows that a lot of people really are appreciative and sincere about good deeds instead of constantly expecting more.

I love being able to take every experience, no matter how positive or negative, and be happy in knowing that I've learned an important lesson and that I've grown from the experience.

I love my family, for they have accepted me for who I am and what I believe in. They've always been supportive of me in my every endeavor and I couldn't ask anymore from them =)

I love true friendship. Those who are there for you through thick and thin. Those who will balance you out if you're feeling down or, conversely, anxious. Those who will help open your mind's eye when your heart is leading you foolishly.

I love life and all its simple pleasures.

I love each and every second -- who ever thought that we're given 86400 of those precious treasures every day?!!

I have a love/hate relationship with technology; on one hand, it keeps us all easily connected; on the other hand, it reduces our reliance upon our connections to each other spiritually and energetically. When you put it on a balance scale though, the main point is that we stay connected, period...so whichever way that is, I LOVE!! =)

And I've said it many times before, and I'll say it many times more!!! I love this forum and the people who so genuinely provide their care and assistance as acts of kindness, compassion, and love and that nobody ever seems to be in "competition" with other members.

Happy Holidays and New Year, Everyone!!
~Jasper

What a lovely idea this is! It makes a nice change to cry because I feel happy

I love my children and the cheeky one-liners they give me, which make me laugh when I know I shouldn't

I love my boyfriend for talking me into lying on the grass verge of a busy road to look at the clouds and going to the park to play on the swings

I love lying outside on my blanket in the sun, with a book and a cool drink

I love meeting my friends and laughing hsyterically about all things past and present

I love being lucky enough to meet someone and to understand who they are without them having to tell me.

I love the fact that I am lucky be surrounded by people who are kind and giving and open and who love me as much as I love them.

I love the fact that I have given up my regrets, realising that without my mistakes, I would not be who I am.

I love the fact that bitterness and pain in my past has been replaced with love and happiness in my present and future.

And right now, I most of all love the person who started this thread for making me realise just how lucky I am

What a brilliant idea witty

I love sending out positive and encouraging words to people who are suffering (a positive thought is like a seed-you plant it and it will grow)

I love it when I give money to homeless people and humble myself in front of them. I look them directly in the eyes and with all my heart I mean it when I say to them "take care" and "god bless you"

If I don't have money to give them I love looking into their eyes and appologising for not having money to give them-homeless people are human beings with feelings and pride-if you cannot treat them like human beings then you're far more poorer as a human being than they will ever be...

I love looking up at the sky and knowing that the answers to all the world and universe are out there. I love feeling like the sky is my home:)

I love doing small things for people-in the end it's the small things that count:)

I love making friends laugh: when you laugh you feel happy and forget any issues/concerns that you have...

I love making little children laugh or smile: it's always such a lovely feeling to make innocent little angels laugh or smile

I love being in nature and being transformed to another world-so peaceful...

I love the fact that I'm generous with my time and money

I love helping people in any way I can and love easing their pressure/worries/concerns.

I love thinking positve for people and empowering then

I love the fact that I do not judge people according to their colour/race/nationality/religion/belief/caste system...

I love talking to people who have not had oppurtunities that I've had and being humble with them and treating them like human beings...

I love being honest with myself and others-yes it hurts to be honest but this way I sleep in peace and at ease with myself.

Most important of all I love love: without love in your life there is no life...

Thank you for this excellent post witty

This is a wonderful thread. I think it's about time some positive went into this world thats rapidly becoming so negative. And I think it'll do me some good to appreciate some things.


I love waking up just after sunrise just to see the scenery look almost painted. Nothing looks real.

I love coming home to see my family actually excited to see me (although I shouldn't be gone as long as I am).

I love all of the support that my family gives me on fulfilling my dreams.

I love knowing that there are people who don't think I'm crazy, no matter how much I speak of my past lief regression attempts, my spirit guide meeting (I think I finally met mine), my dreams that come true, and (I think) my newly aquired empathy.

I love standing outside in the rain as it washes all of my problems away.

I love walking to the forest down the street, just to sit in the nearby field, watching the world go by.

I love taking the most terrible things and turning them into pieces of art, no matter how damaged or dirty.

I love seeing the lighter side of things, no matter how bad they may be.

I love being able to see nature as it is, a beautiful work of art that needs to be treasured, not destroyed.

I love being one of those that sees cruelty to animals as one of the worst crimes on this earth.



And most of all.. I love this topic.

Beth

Arcane, hard as it is for a healer to sometimes accept, sometimes part of a soul's destiny is to experience and pass from illness. Yet the most wonderful thing of all is the love shared between you and your friend, even after life, as it's known, was done for her. We are always sent who and what we need to help us accomplish our destiny and am happy to hear how you were guided back to yours. Keep up the good work!

It was a long and hard road, but I made it and thank you so much, ever so glad to have found the path again

i thank you all for keeping up faith and reminding me of happiness and hope.

I love this thread, so it's time to bring this back to the top

I love all my many friends who I can depend on, and depend on me.

I love all of the many blessings and random lucky instances I keep getting.

I love the smells of plants and the feelings of animals...oh wait plants have feelings too and animals have smells....
I guess I love that too!!

I LOVE music, it can really change a terrible day into a good day.

and
I love myself very much, and I love that I can finally say that outloud

Bump

Ooops...I seem to have bumped into this thread again...

Maybe I'll just keep bumping into it until the time this forum gets happier

I appreciate every single moment of my life, because everything adds up to being me.
I appreciate my family and friends and the time together with them.
I appreciate the people around me and what they do to cheer others up.
I appreciate company as much as I appreciate having alone time.
I appreciate those who accept me for who I am.
I appreciate the people around me who do not generally harbour bad thoughts, because I am very sensitive to them.
I appreciate the friends who know that even when I don't contact them everyday they are still my friends.
I appreciate the moments of my life that are unexpected and are blessings in disguise.
Most of all, I appreciate life.

Thank you Pudding! I appreciate you!

*breathes a nice breath of forum fresh postive air* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


Being positive or optimistic doesn't mean that you ignore or deny what going wrong, all you have to do is recognize what is going right! Maybe someday we can even truly understand that everything is right where it should be!
Even if the world became hell, there'd still be something to appreciate.

Thank you, Pudding....Beaut post!

And Brad...thanks for bumping this thread up...Good idea!

And Witty...Thank you for starting it!

Peace and light,

Lenky

Think there's some newer members who might like to contribute to this.

Yup. I just ran into this.

I love how through this site, I finally realized what my gift was.

I love all my friends and know that they'll continue to support me as I support them.

I love how we can see ourselves in others and see what we want to change.

I love my family and know that no matter what they'll support me in my decisions but also give me the honest truth if I'm about to make a bad decision.

I love the little gifts God sends that can brighten up a day days after the gift was sent. Last week (either Tuesday or Thursday), I saw a bright orange sky shortly after sunrise and that orange lasted as I left the building to head off to class. In all the sunrises I've seen over the years, I have never seen such a brilliant orange dominate.

I love how people on here will not judge me for what I say or do.

I love how people I haven't met tell me I'm a wonderful person.

I love myself for who I am and not who others want me to be. I am in charge of my emotions (though lately I've needed to sort out what are my emotions and what are other's emotions) and of myself in general. Afterall, people can only reflect the undesirable behavior back, it's your decision on if you want to change it.

I love the mysterious way God works. New Year's Day I could have lost my brother. Instead, he and his girlfriend both got extemely lucky and missed hitting a dead deer and didn't roll over after sliding up a hill. (went spinning backwards across the right lane and then up the hill).

I love greeting people even if I don't know them. Smiling makes you happy and right now it seems that the world needs a bit more happiness.

I love the current feeling of control I have with my life. I am the only one capable of overcoming my fears. In fact, instead of a birthday dinner this year, I want to go rock climbing with my father. Big old leap of faith for me but I'm sure I could do it.

I love and appriciate that I still have all four grandparents who spoil their grandchildren and loving parents.

I'm glad this thread got bumped up so many times hehe, so heres 10 things i appreciate:

1. I appreciate ME! The fact that i'm slowly but surely learning to actually do that and be proud of it.
2. I appreciate my family, friends, everyone in this forum, everyone in my life who is there to suport me, teach me, help me grow.
3. i appreciate the world! The beautiful trees and grass that grow, the water in the ocean, the wind.
4. I appreciate my house, my job. everythig that gives me comfort and material support because theres so may people out there that don't have that.
5. I appreciate every obstacle I have in my life, every person who I don't get along with because ultimately they have something to teach me, and every oppurtunity i have to make a change.
6. I appreciate those days when winter is coming to an end and the sun shines down all bright and warm and makes me want to drive around with the windows down and the music loud =) I appreciate the glow of the moon, the shine of the stars, the planets, the endless space out there.
7. I appreciate the universe and whatever God is out there; for giving me life and death and everything in between.
8. I appreciate forums like this one where people have so much loving advice to give.
9. I appreciate my dogs! they are so sweet... and all other animals, the birds that always eat at our feeders out back, and the large birds i see on the way to work. the cats, rabbits, iguanas, hampsters, birds, guinea pigs, fish, etc that I've had at some point.. and all the other animals out there. Ecsp. all the stray animals that seem to just walk right into our house and make themselves at home!
10. I appreciate all thats come before me, all thats to come after me.. i appreciate that there is so much more to each one of these statements than the actual words that came out.

rereading this, i got the warm & fuzzies all over again... update time

i love my animal visitors, even the mudlark that flies into my house and walks around leaving birdy foot prints on my floor

i love how my 18yo has learned to smile

i love sitting here listening to the morning birds

i love my coffee

i love the huge smiles on my children's faces as they get off the bus from school

i love being able to share a moment when helping to bridge the gap between spirits and loved ones

i love the smell of the sea air and the feeling of warmth i feel when standing on the beach

i love the feeling of being held and loved by the angels

i love the giggles people provide me

i love my home

i love my country

i love rain and jumping in puddles

I appreciate just being ALIVE.

I apprecciate all my friends - knowing i can both laugh and cry with them and they won't think any the less of me.

I love thunder storms, watching the clouds gather and the big build up and the anticipation.

I may not have a lot in life - material things, but what I do have is appreciated. I have sons that care about their old mum, friends that are always there. , i have just enough money to pay the bills and there is always food in the fridge.

I love Australia, its in my heart and soul, all its mountains, rainforests,dry plains and the bush. It feels right being here. It is part of me.

I appreciate that I had the love of a good man, we both knew it wasn't going to be forever but what we had was the best.

I love my angels and my guides, like my friends they do not judge.

I appreciate my garden and being able to "potter", and finally harvesting the sweet potato - all four of them LOL. I love seeing new seeds germinate,

I appreciate I can read and always manage to find time to curl up with a good book somewhere quiet and relaxing, immerse myself in another world for a short time.

........ and at the end of the day I appreciate I can see all the good that happened, all the things I achieved, all the joy i got from my friends and i give thanks.



jan

Ummm ... do you eat Vita Weets?

We are all strange here ...

I am grateful for you pinning the thread It's sure to fuel some more positive-ness in the forum!!!

so do i. especially after a good hard rain that makes the world feel like it's nice and clean and has that clean baby smell.




define strange. everyone is special in their own way. and besides, being normal is overrated.

maybe!!


and maybe i still squeeze them together so the marge and vegemite squish out like funny little worms!!! ... maybe

So I figured this one out last night and honestly, I'm sure my mother is still laughing from the conversation I just had with her. I appriciate my parents for being as hard headed as me because it's obviously gotten me somewhere I want to be.

I'm thankful for the kind, wonderful, generous people in this forum who donate and devote their time, gifts and services, and knowledge to those of us in need of guidance, a listening ear, or a kind word.



This for that special someone who needs to hear it most!!!!

WE ALL LOVE YOU HERE, Ms. Victoria!!!!

You know it's sentiments like those that make it all worthwhile when you manually click and redirect each dream post one at a time into the new forum, and then after 3 hours realise that you could just click on them all and do one BIG transfer!




Thank you Witty ... I appreciate your appreciation!

Ooops! I mean your 'appreshiation'

<runs and hides in corner> 'NNO Witty, not the bat ... owww PLEASE NOT THE BAT!

Wynter

I appreciate the fact that I got a new job and today was my first day!!!

I appriciate the amazing food my mother makes for no particular reason. I miss home cooking while I'm at school.

I love God and the Universe and everything! I love it all.

I love Palm Trees!

I love my pets (a dog, a cat and two turtles), they are all so loyal and funny!

I love the magic of everything! I love how everything has a romantic glow.

I love the Ocean, I love crabs and mussels and stingrays!

I love the darkness and mystery!

I love Polynesian things!

I love music, especially in a late Romantic idiom like Strauss and Wagner but any music is great!

I love smelling a certain smell that reminds me of Native Americans!

I love the beach!

I love being myself!

I love mountains! I love skiing.

I love baseball! It is so magical.

I love adventure!

I love having no friends and feeling lonely, and I love having friends and going on adventures with them as well!

I love despair and I love hope! I love crying and I love laughing.

I love Pokemon! (lol...it's true).

I love my family even though they are not at all like me, and I love them even more for that.

I love everything that ever has happened and ever will! I love everyone and everything, they are so special that I could just cry!

I was just thinking about how much I have learned and grown since I have become a member of this board, and how wonderful it is that I have the opportunity to encounter such wonderful people and to have them as my teachers about so many important things in life!!! It's unfortunate that people like some of you on here are so rare these days because I think if there were more of you in the world it would be a much better place...

I just wanted to post to say how deeply thankful I am, because I'm not even sure that you know you're doing it, but you're always teaching me and sharing such uplifting things that affect me constantly. You truly inspire me to live better! :-)

I'm sure many of us feel the same but I don't think I really voice my gratefulness enough, so I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you that have made such a positive difference in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's nice ...
