Gratitude Discussion Group

@jakedduck1 I paid $2.79 a gallon this week and that was up from where it had been. I know it will go up more as summer approaches.

@quietachiver75 That's what I did I also have great transportation her with gas prices the way they are glad I did

@quiteachiver75 THE OTHER REASON FOR SELLING MY CAR 🚙 IS BECAUSE OF MY EYES NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE NORMAL AND NOT KNOWING WHEN MY VISION CHANGES WHICH IT DOES OFTEN DURING THE DAY. HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE FOR THEM TO RETURN TO NORMAL AND IF IT STAYS THAT WAY. ITS SO FRUSTRATING AND DISAPPOINTED ☹️ TAKE CARE ALL TERESA 🙏💕🙏💐

Today I am so grateful that my husband's daughter and her husband are visiting for the weekend. It is such a joy to have family around - different energy, lots of talk and catching up, and just generally enjoying our time together. I think it was @gingerw who taught me the word "bonus daughter". If so, thank you - I love that term. If not, remind me who to thank. (I love this great group!)

I'll add to the gas price conversation: here in northeast FL, I just paid $2.69 a gallon for regular.

@debbraw I'm glad we have a new governor in Calif. He is looking into why the gas is so high here I'm grateful to be here with my son and his family They do include me in family business 🙏 I'm grateful for our cyber table it's good to hear from everyone and get different opinions

@hopeful33250 My heart is sad for a guy who lives here He was born without hearing or speaking now I just found out he is blind in one eye and his other eye is only seeing a little .Poor guy. I don't think my problems are bad when I hear this You can always find someone that's worse then you right 😞It makes me mad when others make fun of him 😠

@debbraw Yes, that was indeed me who introduced that term for a step-child. My stepson is a blessing; his half-sister, my bonus daughter, well another story.

Today I am very grateful to have participated in the Donate Life Run/Walk, and was able to get a mile in with my wonky knee! Using trek poles helps keep my gait balanced. We met a man this morning walking in memory of his daughter, and it was a true blessing to hear his story. It was great for my husband to be able to tell a donor's family member how, as a recipient, you are grateful/humble for the gift of an organ, while feeling sadness/grief for the heartbreak of losing someone. He has often said this, but today he got to actually tell a donor's family member. I could tell it moved him.

@lioness
You are a very compassionate person. I'm sure you were a wonderful nurse. You are correct when you say that our own problems seem to fade when we become aware of the problems of others.

@mamacita At the Rose Bowl on Pasadena CA there where thousands walking for autism and in Long Beach they had a walk also I don't know how much they raised

@hopeful33250 Thank you Teresa I loved working to get people better so they could resume life.
