To See and Be Seen; Feeling Good

“When a person doesn’t have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A
person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude.”  Elie Wiesel

        Good evening everyone, how was your day? 
I arose at 5:30 a.m. I studied, prayed, meditated, had alone time, on my way towards nurturing my soul. At 10:30 a.m. I met with friends.     
      There, my spirit was lifted, emboldened. Connecting with many encouraging people invigorated the innkeeper who has been subdued by a persistent, pesty illness. .
     Several of us had lunch after our get together. It was the rest of the day that became interesting. I'll share more about that tomorrow. I'm tired, so I'm hitting the hay. 
   My Gratitudes for This Fine Saturday Evening:
1.  I liked what I heard this morning, when with friends. 
2. I'm glad I joined the group. It could have been very easy to isolate. 
3. I had a terrific conversation with a friend today, later in the afternoon. 
4.  My need for community, connection, mutuality, friendship, being heard, to see and be seen, love intimacy and inclusion were met. 
5. I feel terrific and happy because of the time I spent with others today. Its as simple as that.
