Thanksgiving 2012 (occasions)

Firstly, lets get one thing straight dear readers-

We Are Thankful and Grateful for Each and Every One of You!

Once I wrote (note Not regarding M.E.)  -

'Gratitude is one of the biggest blessings. For me, I feel eternally blessed for being so grateful for being able to love those around me, and for being in love with my religion. But it is also very worthwhile, to stop, even just once or twice a day, and appreciate the little blessings around you. The way the light falls, the quiet in the distance. Enjoy the drink you are sipping, the breeze on your face, people-watching in your lunch break. It is amazing how, if done regularly, if you can take just 20seconds to appreciate the little wonders, the little every day miracles, you will find you hold so much more peace inside of you, and in turn, how over time your smile will glow. And will no longer be the fake smile so many of us are practiced at.'

Gratitude isn't naive. It does not ignore pain, suffering, sorrow, despair.

For some of us living with M.E. life can be so grueling that gratitude can sometimes pass us by, by simply being so overwhelmed with our illness.

But when we are able, it can be not only important and beneficial, but sometimes vital, to take that moment, and sigh, feeling one little thing we are grateful for. It can help life quality, and self worth, which both play such roles in the lives of people with M.E.

However, one of the things that I have found amazing talking with y'all, is how so many of you find ways to see happiness in the smallest of things.

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!
