That is so great that your parents are so close...I would love to be able to see mine a lot more often, I am looking forward to them coming to see me in October.
I like your gratitude idea...mine is kind of silly but I'm grateful that I had the guts to leave Joel! So many good things have happened since and I am finding such contentment and peace in my new life.
Love and hugs,
Janet

I would like to start a gratitude journal for our group. For those of
you who watch Oprah, you will know what I am talking about. I think
this would give us all the opportunity to remember the good things in
our lives, and put aside our pain for just a few moments.
Dear Gratitude Journal,
Today I am grateful for my parents. Until earlier this year I saw them
just once every six months or so, they lived in another state (over 16
hours drive fom my home).
I now have the pleasure of "popping in" to have a quick chat cuppa
with them every day if I choose, or spend an afternoon at the movies
with my mum, or shopping with her.
Thank you for making it possible for my parents to move back to our
town. I can now offer them practical support and love when they need
it.
