    hey all, there used to be a thread here last winter/spring called Daily Gratitude, just a place to post any little or big thing you're feeling gratitude about. even a nice cup of coffee in the morning or a major milestone or break through.

    I started that thread, and unfortunately my life got very busy and I let it slip. someone mentioned it earlier to me and so, I'm bringing it back.......

    lol.

    so my gratitude for today;
    -my son, always my son. he makes me soo proud in University and growing into a strong empathetic young man.
    -my transition, I started in April living my truth as an out Transwoman, and I'm loving it.
    -my friends, with out whom I could never do this in the progressive and positive way that I have.

    so, What is your daily gratitude? lets fill this thread with positivity.

    Sarah.

    today I am grateful for friends, I went to my monthly Pflag meeting last night and reconnected with friends and met a new one. I went to my favourite second hand store and got two high end winter coats for 40$. and I had a period of feeling really down but the other day I had a point or radical acceptance and I'm feeling much better now.

    yesterday I went to an event I go to every year, called Authors in Art. its a unique blend of visual art, one love of mine, and the written word, my other love. so grateful for my friends who put this off every year and allows me to indulge, absorb, and mingle with such creative people. I even got in invite to present one of my works at a poetry night at my friends Café that's being organized by someone else who is a writer in my area.
